Wow! Folks are actually starting to wise up. Two months ago the little town of Los Altos Hills, California, put in place a truly sensible deconstruction permitting process. When a deconstruction (not demolition) contract is attached to the permit application, permit fees are waived and the new building plans go to the front of the approval line. This break-through ordinance was followed a couple of weeks ago by a similar measure in Seattle.
