Personal opinion, but I always thought of New Orleans as an example to the rest of the nation not to waste the built environment but to build around and complement what is already built, to honor the past. I can't see why we would be patronized by a developer that want's to destroy more of New Orleans' history in the swing of ONE wrecking ball than most cities have in their entire downtown. Incorporating only parts of the building (the granite) into this sounds like a joke and an encroachment on this city's way of life. I'm not trying to sound poetic, New Orleans is unique, and it shows in the fabric of our city, the built environment as is and has been, not in what someone from another part of the country thinks it should be~~~~~!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
