The insanity of this type of ordinance does not even deserve words. We do not live in a welfare state. for those who are jealous of tax paying citizens trying to make a living, shame on all of you.

The sheer volume of inaccuracies in this outrageous assualt on private property rights is enough to warrant a city wide vote of confidence in the city leadership. SPOA will fight this profoundly unconstitutional attempt to undermine our member’s rights with every resource at our disposal.

This city used to be known as 'Slummerville'. People have been repairing their homes and desirability of living in the city has risen. Now you want to declare my triple-decker of 'historic value'!? Why are you attacking responsible property owners????

This demolishion policy is no good for home owners. If this goes into effect then I think that new people will be voted into office.

Open eyes and stop hurting our economy with unnecessary regulations and reasoning.

This is an extensive overreach of the government into people's choices for their houses. Worse, it is an administrative nightmare for any homeowner who wants to make very reasonable changes in his/her house, even without much impact on the appearance. I am very concerned about this!

Absolutely NO such revised "demolition" ordinance should be passed. The language is ambiguous and uncertain and can be applied to each and every kind of renovation that any owner of building 75 years old or older may want to do.

I think we should all have an opportunity to discuss this before gets voted on I know that very few people know anything about this

We think it is a mistake to restrict home improvements based on an arbitrary designation of "Historic". This is giving power to the Historic Commission that should be reserved for the Zoning Board. Peter and Barbara Marshall

Demolition isn’t the issue so much as the “partial” demolition aspect; it will create all sorts of logistical issues and troubles for homeowners/the city.
