NOAH

How is it that Matt McBride had the data to “support this article”:http://www.nola.com/news/index.ssf/2008/08/city_paid_to_gut_houses_set_fo.html and the Office of Recovery Managment is still grappling with this issue.

We have brought this to the attention of the Neighborhood Conservation District as each NOAH house has been apprised for demolition, there was no response to my question of how it was possible that these house were remediated and then demolished. We asked and no one ever answered.
