I will follow-up with a more detailed read. I have lived in the OWS for near 40 years. It seems to me that the OWS Historical Commission are even more so building an exclusive environment within the OWS by demanding expensive housing adjustments for any modification.

I'll see if I can't work the bit from LaMore about small apartment buildings not being unwelcome into the conversation at some point. Hope the News subhead doesn't read: Man picks fight with neighbors at block party, gets punched. Tomorrow is the annual block party on our street.
