“The Times Picayune”:http://www.nola.com/frontpage/t-p/index.ssf?/base/news-11/1219123468131300.xml&coll=1 writes of a building boom but if there is any boom it will be the “demolition boom.”:http://www.regional-modernism.com/2008/08/rsd-analysis-map-layer-one.html

For a recap on “last night’s meeting”:http://wecouldbefamous.blogspot.com/2008/08/fahrenholtz-sure-does-read-fast-except.html as an aside after the meeting I asked Jimmy Farenholtz why he decided that public comment was innapropriate at this time. His answer was aggressive and dismissive.

  5. Drove past the ruins of a school on Fillmore yesterday. I think it was a Catholic School.

    I’ve heard a lot about the new school buildings lately. Though the city council has passed a non-binding ordinance that all newly constructed schools should be LEED certified, word is that the verifications required are too onerous for the RSD to handle and they will only be “green” enough for the RSD’s bureaucrats, not up to a national green standard.

    Same old same old.
