It's encouraging to read something substantive from a board member of uchs, 
who is willing to provide information and thoughts about historic 
designation in the context of a dialog with others and with the intention 
of increasing understanding. bravo.

I especially liked tim's last sentence:

now, listen to it this way:

Neighborhood meetings about historic preservation do not seek to freeze a 
frame of mind--they simply seek to get residents to take a breath and think 
about what they want their neighborhood to look like and to think about how 
changes made by individuals effect the community as a whole.

see how it works? how everyone wants what is best? by getting others to 
pause and reflect? to better understand how individual actions can affect 
the whole community?

so tim, here's an idea: why not volunteer to speak about historic 
designation at tomorrow's open community meeting?
