[quote=Anonymous]Because there's only one Old Town. But we could have more places like Old Town.[/quote] You think we should have more historic districts?[/quote] Exactly, this “replicate Old Town” poster is advocating for zoning and preservation - or thinks a bunch of builders-grade micro townhomes, adding some gas lanterns and brick sidewalks can recreate a >200 year old Old Town. In a lot of ways it highlights the YIMBY mentality - believing people choose houses simply because they are roofs and walls - nothing to say of the community and environment they are located. I do not even think this poster is being trollish. It encapsulates what makes compromise impossible. My family could have purchased a large luxury condo or even somewhere in Old Town. But we preferred our small yard, block parties, off-street parking, and trees. It was about so much more than walls and a roof. [/quote]
