“Today’s TP”:http://www.nola.com/news/index.ssf/2008/08/city_mistakenly_demolishes_cou.html If the demolition of the DeJean house was an isolated act then perhaps the level of anger and frustration would be much less, but months ago a homeowner left this “comment on my blog”:http://www.squanderedheritage.com/homeowner-letter/. You would think the City would educate itself to process and procedure by now. Several paragraphs from the TP […]
