splitting hairs
Ok friends. The time has come. We need a new word. Natalie has been saying "deconstruction," and frankly, I don't like it. However, "demolition" doesn't work either. See, the Internet God that is Wikipedia sez that deconstruction is "the selective dismantelement of building components, specifically for re-use, recycling, and waste management." Demolition, as we all know, is smashing the fuck out of things. What we're doing is somewhere in between, as we clearly don't intend to "re-use" any of this crap. Maybe "de-slumlordification?" "de-wtf-ification?" I dunno. I await your suggestions with bated breath.
