[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My family made the opposite choice -- to live in a historic district.  I agree that the city is big enough to have both to give people choices.[/quote]

The same.  We value having a historic district in the neighborhood.  And when we renovated and enlarged our house the process was not burdensome at all.[/quote]

The hysteria from the people opposed to historic designation is rather astounding. It really isn't that big of a deal, and frankly, it generally improves the overall quality of home renovations.[/quote]

It’s like saying I was planning to buy a Mercedes anyway, so what’s the big deal if everyone has to buy a Mercedes…it’s a better car anyway.

I don’t know…maybe because historic district windows (as just one example) can easily run $40,000+ for a whole house window replacement vs $20,000 for top vinyl windows.  Oh, and absolutely nobody cares about those vinyl windows.  How do I know…because a number of people sending in letters supporting the district have 100% vinyl windows…which look nice…ands again, nobody cares.

So, how to reconcile the hypocrisy of those that have already made all their non-HPO approved modifications as they smugly now try to impose those on the rest of us.[/quote]

Also, one of the founders of the CC DC Conservancy lives in a 1970s duplex that is a non-contributing property…talk about the nth level of hypocrisy.
