[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not historic in any way. I hope a couple of 6-plexes get built there because the neighbors seem insufferable.[/quote]

The buyers seem like they love nothing more than trolling their putative neighbors.  From a distance, it's kind of hilarious, but if you actually lived in the neighborhood no doubt you'd have a different reaction. [/quote]

I am not understanding. Let's say that their plan all along was to build MM housing, and so now they're acting on that plan. Why are the neighbors protesting? The elected officials passed MM, and so if these owners get the necessary approvals to build 6-plexes or townhomes, the neighbors should blame the elected officials who allowed MM to happen. Claiming that this house has historic value undercuts the neighbors' credibility because the house quite obviously was not historic.[/quote]

The neighbors saw the notice of demolition posted soon after closing, asked the owner what they were planning to build, owner was evasive and this raised the ire of the neighbors to speak out against MM housing — then owner ran to papers and cried racism.

Honestly, if my neighbor decides to rent out their house as a group home, I might express my displeasure to them even though it is legal. This is a similar effect. 
 I think they historic nonsense came about when the owner would not answer directly.  If they were doing a SFH, they would have waited on demolition until plans approved in case they wanted to use a variance from existing property. But they always planned to subdivide, which is what the neighbors figured out from demo on day one. [/quote]
