I mean absolutely no disrespect by this, in fact, I'm convinced I'll be drinking margaritas with Heights Yankee at Berryhill one night with our kiddos all playing on the patio. But, honestly, I have a couple of questions. You said "i think they are important socially, historically and architecturally and i think they do need to be protected." My question is this: why are they important socially and historically? Can you give examples in our neighborhood of this "gimme a break. gut it and make it as modern as you want inside, but don't insult us by putting a fake, just add water so it can fall apart in 3 years piece of crap in its place and say you did everyone a favor." By that, I mean I'd like to know of houses that were built three years ago that are falling apart. That are in disrepair, because that's what "falling apart" means to me. To me, that's what you are implying. Maybe it's happening, and I don't see it. It's a big neighborhood, but I didn't see any new construction topple over after IKE,much to the dismay of the new construction haters. (I refuse to use McMansion, as I do live in a newer house, that in my opinion is anything but a McMansion, but I digress......). I'll be the big red head at Berryhill with 10 month red headed daughter, look forward to tipping back an adult beverage.....
