Bravo, BCA! You are shuttling "the poors" out of Bloomingdale and keeping them away!
Word to the wise: Don't break your arms patting yourselves on the back. It would be embarrassing and unseemly.
care to explain, BCC. Figure you are looking to begin a discussion with your post, which on the surface doesn't have any direct correlation to the topic. Are you against historic designations? Or are you just aimlessly complaining?
It's a matter of fact that Historic Designation status conflicts with the creation of affordable housing. The footprints of our homes in Bloomingdale are fixed. If people are only allowed to create a certain construction within their homes, that alters the ability to make more housing (4 floors cannot be 4 flats, only 2 condos). That's really not a big deal for those of us who have families, need the space, and aren't expanding. For someone who would like to create 4 flats, it's another hurdle to clear in order to create housing in the center city.
The restriction on the number of dwelling units is from ZONING and not historic district designation.
