[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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.[b] It really isn't that big of a deal[/b], and frankly, it generally improves the overall quality of home renovations.[/quote]

So why do it?[/quote]

Why not? There are a lot of unique neighborhoods in DC, Chevy Chase is one of them. Why not celebrate a streetcar suburb of DC? It won't impact the proposals  for the community center, but it will "stabilize" the 100+ year old homes on either side of CT Ave.[/quote]

That’s a load of BS.  There is nothing that needs “stabilizing”…and it absolutely is being promoted as a tool to block/impede the community center development.

Just be honest about it.[/quote]

Have you seen the development in the Shaw Historic District? Or the 14th Street Historic District? Or the Anacostia Historic District? Being in a historic District does not block or impede development. If that is the reason the proponents have filed their application, they will be in for a surprise.[/quote]
