Historical nazis at it again

I guess if your house or business falls in their new proposed districts, the Nazis will get to renovate them and you get to pay the bill. These historical districts are worse than HOA's.

What's in West Lafayette to be considered historical? The Border's, a gas station, a restaurant?

I think I would burn it to the Ground first...
Rebuild that...

This is just another ruse for busy body neighbors to use the state to raise their own property values. If you don't want or can't afford their forced renovations, too bad. My property values trump your property rights.

Many Alaskan brothels are considered "historic."

There is a church in downtown Lafayette that's been fighting for a couple years now for the privilege of demolishing a couple houses they own. The Nazis have been fighting them tooth and nail to deny them permits. The great thing about historical Nazis is they want to Preserve everything but not at their own personal expense.

I could see the historical society including houses on a voluntary basis, but not just deeming a "district" historically significant and making those homeowners abide.

 

[Sigasaurus]

Honestly, what can they do if an individual refuses too or financially can't afford the imposed renovations? I know what I would do, but I really don't foresee much that can be done.

Once again I will say, if you want the to decide what to do with Property I own then buy it off of me. If not then **** off...

I have lived in 10 or 12 communities in my adulthood. Every time an old house is ready to be torn down, people jump out of the woodwork and stop the plans because it is "Historical" Just because it's old it does have history, but that does not mean it is SIGNIFICANT. Several times I have seen "historical societies" actually accomplish getting the house designated as historical so they cannot be torn down. They raise funds and patch it a little, then they loose interest in THEIR project and leave it to the municipality. Then the TAXPAYERS get stuck "preserving" a piece of junk that should have been torn down. If someone wants to use their own money to restore something they bought, more power to them, but make them escrow enough money to tear it down when they loose interest. I am tired of paying for other peoples misguided fantasy.

 

[jdhaines]

Ha! I kept reading for how the Nazi party plays into this. In my home town nonetheless. Talk about a reading fail.

 

[hornadylnl]

If I owned a house in an area that they designate a historical district afterwards, I'd turn it into an unstaffed homeless shelter. Take all the locks off and let anyone and everyone come and go as they pleased.

These people will trample on your property rights in a second if it will make tgeir house worth a dollar more.

Good new, hor, they are knocking down the Phythian Home.

Remember in 9 out of 10 laws "for the common good" the purpose of the law is to:

1. Seek economic rent;

2. Create a barrier to entry to keep others out of a market.

There is an original home stead property my family owns that has been designated "historical." It was a log cabin at some point, but I think that was torn down or renovated generations ago. It's a 3 bedroom ranch with aluminum siding now. Very historical.

All of these things make me lol... Just because something is old doesn't mean it has value. In fact, it's typically the exact opposite.

My mom collects so much old crap just because it's old. She has a cradle that great great grandpa built. The rockers are cracked, 2 of the posts have been sawed off, other cracked areas are held together with wood screws and elmers glue. It is JUNK. I was a little scared to actually put my kids in it. Mom got her pictures though. "Been in the family for 4 geneartions." About 3 generations too many.

Perfect time for an accidental propane explosion...

"Oh, by all means please preserve that stick...and that doorframe..."

Harry's ?? Too bad they didn't band together to save the Stabilizer , now that place had historical significance. (at least to me it did)

Love the hysterics. Historic preservation is just that. Preservation of history.

I live in an historic district and they will not allow me to cover my house, built in 1872, with plastic siding.

I'm sure they offer to come help you paint.

 

[ATOMonkey]

Only with historic paint.
