"The National Trust for Historic Preservation, which today releases its annual list of the most endangered historic places in the United States, is urging the federal government to do more to encourage homeowners and businesses to recycle existing structures rather than build new ones." From the Washington Post here, "http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/04/27/AR2009042703566.html?hpid=moreheadlines"
I wonder if this would change the discussion in Portland Oregon regarding the Memorial Coliseum... It seems that the argument hasn't even really been about the environmental impact of razing the MC for a new building. That is a lot of steel and glass to throw away because it is costly to repair.
