I have been following this discussion for some time, and find it very interesting. I would come down as opposed to the planned HD, a position I have held since I first saw the hoops you jump through some 10 years ago on This Old House. After the first show they did in such an area my thoughts were "Why would anyone want to live under such restrictions?" There was an article in the Inquirer outlining the stupid things these Historic Districts require. The article can be found at http://inq.philly.com/content/inquirer/2002/02/01/magazine/SKY01.htm
I do feel the discussion here is valuable and what Al has to say is interesting. I also have one question for those who are in favor of this, which no one has addressed. Is there any way to reverse this thing after it goes through or are you stuck with it no matter what? My guess is there is no way to reverse it. What if it doesn't work out? I would be a little happier if I knew it could be reversed. I haven't said anything up till now because I am one of those horrible renters that seem to have no say in local matters. I have lived here off and on for the last 20 years, and continuously since 1996, but still feel like a second-class citizen in this discussion.

To unsubscribe, see <http://www.purple.com/list.html>. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ I normally ignore people asking me to unsub or sub them, but I figured I'd respond here because Scott is a friend of mine, and because I've gotten a few such requests recently. I'm curious what others think on this. Is the approach to the h.d. debate (the most noise on the list of late) to ignore Al and let things go silent? Is it worthwhile that there is this discussion? The downside of such heated discussions is that the number of unsubs goes up markedly. (Remember, people on AOL and a few other really bad mail systems have enough trouble deleting unwanted mail that these discussions can seem onerous indeed.) -- Jeff Jeff Abrahamson <http://www.purple.com/jeff/> The Big Book of Misunderstanding, now in bookstores and on the web: <http://www.misunderstanding.net/buystuff.html> ---- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to the list named "UnivCity."
