You'd be disinterested and apathetic as, evidently, the residents next-door to the little red house (who live in a fugly thing with driveway underneath) were. <br />How neighbors can be unaware of what is going on right next door to them is simply amazing to me. <br />The Dept of Buildings is a complete joke (corrupt and bungling as has been documented repeatedly) and cannot be relied upon to police every residential property with the potential for historic relevance and protection. <br />Members of the community (a/k/a "neighbors") should be aware of what is going on with vacant property or even property which is going on the market. How can you not? It is the only way to assure that a building will be afforded some protection. This is how preservation works, concerned citizens rally around and sound an alarm.<br />In this case there was complete silence and inaction on the part of the "community".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36892255.post-19138787561696747052011-11-17T02:41:52.445-05:002011-11-17T02:41:52.445-05:00That is very sad!

If playing it safe were the only option, Apple wouldn't be the company that it is today, Obama wouldn't be president, and our homes, which were built by DEVELOPERS, might not have been built.<br /><br />When money is flowing freely, as it was at that time, it made sense to take the risk. It worked out for most who did it in our neighborhood, and it didn't work out for this guy or the guy on Carroll. <br /><br />It's not sad or good or bad; it just is.Batmannoreply@blogger.com
