Yeah I don't understand the "historical preservation" side of this. I'd understand it if there were environmental impact concerns, but why do people care about a sand filtration plant?
 
They don't. The whole historic preservation slant is bogus. They just don't want development. They'd totally be down for a public park, but they don't want anything that brings in more people.
 
I'd prefer an argument that built more high density housing that had an affordability or rent stabilization angle. It's not like it's usable green space now!

Don't get me started on historical preservation boards.
 
Some places I understand but they try to shoehorn some places that have no business being historical districts. Then it's just a power play for the people who are on the historical district board.
 
How hard is it to get gummies home on a plane from Denver ?
 
Just take them out of original packaging and throw them in carry on.
