Once again, Al is using scare tactics instead of the truth in an attempt to make his case. Don't fall for it! Is anyone else getting as tired as I am of writers putting complete falsehoods onto the listserv about the proposed historic district? Does the opposition think that the average reader is completely stupid and hopelessly naive? Come out to the meeting this Wednesday, the 24th, at the Spruce Hill Christian School at 7:30 p.m. to hear the actual facts and ask questions!
The Philadelphia historic preservation ordinance uses Federal guidelines - which DO NOT limit paint colors. Even if the Phila. Historical Commission "hires a color-freak", as Al suggests, they CANNOT tell anyone what color to paint a house. Everyone does NOT know, because what Al states ISN'T TRUE, that the Commission could decide "..only certain colors get approval." That simply could not happen! There are legitimate reasons to support, and to oppose, the proposed district, based on what it actually does to and for the neighborhood. We should be weighing those, not inventing restrictions that don't exist. We all live here together. Can't we be honest and respectful with one another and tell the truth?

And, as everyone knows, all it would take is a color-freak to be hired to work as a gopher on the Commission staff and bingo -- only certain colors get approval!
