It\u2019s the perfect spot. The city owns it, it\u2019s in-town, and the Cross Town Shuttle runs right by both getting people out of their infernal combustion engine cars. Council could rezone those plots and then over-ride the objections from both the Historical Preservation Commission and all of the NIMBYs who would come out of the woodwork.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">With our planetary climate emergency, the HPC needs to consider not only preserving historical buildings. They need to consider preserving our historical weather and snowfall amounts. Winter is getting shorter, droughts and floods are getting worse. There is no denying that unless you are a Republican.
