This conversation about purple as a house paint color is somewhat disingenuous, isn't it? Hasn't purple and its many shades of lavender and violet on a house always expressed to everyone that its inhabitants live or espouse an alternative (read: gay and/or sympathetic to) life style?

Frankly, I think that what Mr. Grossbach _said_ at the meeting is far more indicative of his opinions than the color he chose to paint his house. Unless you're using the ancient practice of Paintomancy, the art of reading people's minds based on the color of their houses... >> Very weak argument, Brian. Let me be a little more clear: Mr. Grossbach's house is in the proposed historic district. Mr. Grossbach's house has been painted purple for many years. When he repainted it, he painted it purple again. Wouldn't it seem that HE LIKES PURPLE HOUSES, just like those of you who wrote earlier this week that YOU LIKE PURPLE HOUSES? If the district regulated the color of exterior trim, and if trim color was limited to something "historic," many of you seem to feel that purple wouldn't be on the list. Yet you claim that Mr. Grossbach, a fan of purple houses, "dearly wishes" color was regulated? I don't think so.
