That is correct, Mike. I've had to prove this several times. It is against 
the nature of state governments to actually demolish a building ("But we 
HAVE it. Why would we demolish it and spend the money to build new?" 
"Because the cost of properly renovating this existing building is greater 
(by a factor of s much as double) than the costs of demolition plus new 
construction, and in addition the energy efficiency of the new building is 
so much greater, and that is a consideration in the long term viability of 
operating the building. 

Oh, yeah, I suppose this is off topic . . .
