[MassHistPres] Demolition Delay By law

[Tristram Metcalfe 3]

Absolutely 18 months is better,,
The purpose of demo delay is to allow AND encourage rethinking of a  
development plan which must also include moving the structure the  
most costly preservation that needs maximum time.

I look at it this way; The history is owned by the civilization, the  
deed holder holds ALL issues held by the deed from toxic waste found  
later on site to preservation of OUR history. They should be required  
to allow preservation if the civilization requests it.
