Is part of the problem also that too many areas are considered historic? Obviously the monuments and a fair amount of government buildings should not be changed for being historic. However when you get into residential and other businesses, do we need as much historic designation. Imagine we're almost 90 years from now, does Cleveland Park still need to look like 1920? I'm wondering if the historic designation is rather a roundabout way from preventing others from making changes to a building that people subjectively think is ugly. What is the true purpose of the historic designation of buildings, especially that which is just housing in an area developed 100 years ago, that just happen to be old?
