Notable Quotes (3)
The claim that historic designation is somehow motivated by racism is also inconsistent with the fact that historic designation is a tool that historically has been used to protect and preserve properties that are associated with wealth and whiteness.
We are afraid of being displaced. We don't want to be displaced. We are low-income people. There's nothing that is proven or documented.
Historic designation locks these residents in these 70-year-old homes for no redevelopment. I ask you please to deny and give the residents an opportunity to shape their future.
