[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How I see it is that if you’re in w the old boy network you can develop away which is how we ended up w the behemoths that extend onto the street and you can touch the next house from the mansion next door, no joke. But if you’re not in, there’s no development, no driving, no walking… meanwhile the streets are losing their character and I pity the poor souls who sunk millions into living under what’s become an unbearable flight path. The preservation group is a vestige of a different time (and century) and, while perhaps a bit unfair, the issues they try to push like this poor excuse for privatizing a road, are a lightning rod for the fairly justified outrage. I was actually shocked they tried to do this now, and knew it would end in tears. Could have kept quiet and enjoyed the streets. As it is, they drew such attention to the streets and themselves that they’ll have more traffic than before, no measure will pass, and even if it did, by hook and crook, it would be unenforceable. All one needs to say is they wish to visit the graveyard or the park. I am shocked by the arrogance: get Cheh to pass it in her lame duck days, hold a hearing in August — had they wanted to look more shady they couldn’t have done worse… and that is the seamy side of the Kent underwear folks. For me, my neighbor posting nonsense and serially suing people is what did it. I will be suspicious of anything they do and the group should be disbanded—it’s a segregationist embarrassment in my opinion [/quote]

yes the preservation group is an embarrassment, Funny now, many years after imposing strict tree removal rules to "maintain the character" of the neighborhood, some ageing members of the group realize that they have hurt the resale value of their properties and are trying to have the rules relaxed[/quote]
