torn down

In the summer of 2022, Ms Fatima's childhood home - a yellow-brick two-storeyed house in the bustling depths of the city - was torn down by authorities overnight.

The court then issued a set of guidelines, which make it mandatory for authorities to give at least 15 days' advance notice to an occupant before an illegal structure is torn down and to publicly explain the reason for the demolition.

Though people still loved eating in the structures, even in the colder months, the city has ordered them to be torn down each fall and reassembled each spring.

“Everybody thought Ron DeSantis was at this powerful apex of politics that could not be torn down,” Lanza said.

Times art critic Christopher Knight has called it the “incredible shrinking museum,” noting that the new building has less exhibition space than the four buildings that were torn down to make room for it.
