Notice to demolish


Pages and pages of these notices.


These started showing up a while ago, just a couple pages then. Notices to demolish.

It makes me wonder. Have they been abandoned? Are people waiting for Road Home funding to rebuild? Are they slumlords who cut their losses? Why only now after two years are they being dealt with? Will they really be demolished? Who does that - FEMA? What's the mechanism for contesting? Are certain (read: poor) areas targeted more than others? Are historical structures being destroyed? What will be the effect on the city overall?

Now, I'm all about "change is good" but here, not always.
