City:	New Orleans
Specific property affected:	5500 Paris
Comments:	There are four reasons that the building at 5500 Paris should be torn down: 1 The building may have been of unique construction in N.O. but it was a faulty design and has been a maintenance nightmare since it was built. 2 The building sat in six feet of contaminated water for 3 weeks and sustained substantial damage. 3 The building was not constructed to be enviromentally friendly and is very expensive to keep up on a regular basis. 4 The Archdiosese has decided to not reopen the building as a church and has said that they do not have the funds for the up keep.
