[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OK, fine, so the site is not suitable for MM housing. If the owners just plan to build a new mcmansion, why are the neighbors protesting? I'm confused as to why the demolition of an old house to build something new has become newsworthy. Calling a site historic when it is not makes it seem as though the neighbors are not acting in good faith.[/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]

I'd tell me new neighbors to p*ss off. They aren't entitled to a morning wave, let alone an explanation of my plans with my property. If they wanted to control the home and land, they should have bought it themselves.[/quote]
