[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Covenants, especially racial covenants, have not been enforceable for a long time. Many people have still taken the steps to remove them. These are not to be confused with historic districts, which seek to preserve the look of certain neighborhoods deemed worthy of preservation. Many neighborhoods in DC are historic districts. It doesn't mean you can't expand a home in those areas; renovations must simply be compatible. Zoning refers to the rules regarding density, massing, FAR, etc that jurisdictions establish standards on building.[/quote] The only reason there are so many historic districts in DC is because the bar to create one is so low. Somehow we have far more than Boston and Philadelphia…not of course because our neighborhoods are so historic, but because those cities require residents to vote and the bar is higher.[/quote]
