this entire story is absolutely insane. NIMBYs refuse to let the owner of this restaurant sell to developers because they like the aesthetics of the building.https://twitter.com/JoeStGeorge/status/1158879067279519744 …

“No one should be able to tear anything down if I think it looks nice” is no way to run a city of any size.

sorry i guess. i just don’t see “blocking a mixed use downtown development to preserve a diner” as a useful exercisehttps://twitter.com/peoplemakeplans/status/1159138345030754304?s=21 …

It's a diner, not the barn Jesus was born in.

Wow what a weird viewpoint. You do realize that developers are making “buildings for the RICH people to live in” right? Being “frozen in time” isn’t the issue, it’s succumbing to hyper capitalist landscapes... I can’t believe I was following you?

by this logic, we should knock down all the expensive condo and apartment buildings in town. That will surely lead to lower housing costs...

Don't underestimate the value of just ignoring "historic preservation" altogether though!

You should come to Logan Circle sometime where the fights aren’t even about tearing down a privately owned building but about building on an empty lot next to a “historic” 1911-built building (that should be torn down, IMHO)https://ggwash.org/view/amp/71960
