(no need to quote them, you can go back and read them).   Just as I've said since day one. The proponents aren't interested in preservation. All this pretentious talk about our precious historical heritage is just a red herring. They are grasping at the straw of historic designation will give them control over what other people do. How it will achieve such a thing is beyond comprehension... I doubt whether they've really thought this out. Preventing the installation of vinyl-clad thermopane windows or porch spindles from Home Depot certainly won't do anything to change what they really object to ... a high rental population, inadequate infrastructure for their God-given right to park in front of their homes, too much trash for once-a-week collection, neighbors with different cultural values or norms of behavior, ..., well, I could go on but you get the idea.   Thanks for admitting it so openly, Jim. Shame on you, but thanks. Your posting ranks down there with Neil Lifson's mendacious Letter to the University City review as revealing the truth of the pro-HD faction.   Always at your service and ready for a dialog, Al Krigman
