great... another building to sit around and fall into dilapidated disrepair, at someone else's expense... while the "heritage committee" congratulate themselves on "saving" an old, crumbling building.
If the city has the power to make this declaration, THEN THE CITY SHOULD PURCHASE THE PROPERTY and maintain it as a museum (of course that would open another can of worms). But to have the power to saddle someone else with it's care and maintenance is, frankly, obscene... especially if the property has already been purchased.
There's been an awful lot of "heritage" type homes demolished in Westboro in the past decade... how is that justified? I think we should slap a full moratorium on any building > 50 years old.
