On Should city toughen rules for historic neighborhoods?
Posted on November 30 at 9:43 p.m. ( Suggest removal )
The world is full of contractors who claim they know how to restore historic homes and they're willing to charge you an exorbitant amount of money to prove they don't know what they're talking about. Now the commission proposes to tell us how to do it. Can there be a bigger waste of time than to listen to them? If you haven't done it, you don't have a valid opinion on how it can be done.
The people who live in the historic district, who have invested in homes in that district, are the best able and most willing people to preserve the neighborhood. The commission's input so far has been counter-productive. The new proposal is unconstitutional and the people who can afford to restore historical homes can afford to sue the city to strike down this ridiculous power grab. Butt out!
