I am currently wrangling with the city over home improvements I wish to make on my home.  Apparently, since we are in a historic district, we cannot improve our homes without making a federal case out of all of this.  What are your thoughts about our designation as a Historic Preservation District?  Is it helpful to the neighborhood?  Is it a big bother?  Would you like to see changes in the design guidelines?

Please go to my survey at http://www.lallylaw.com/survey.htm  and let me know how you feel.
