I like History and keeping the ideas of the past alive, but Historic Districts can lead to a loss of Property Rights. I pulled the “Historic District” plan from the Smart Growth Resource Library. For more on Smart Growth, the JLF City County Guide is a good tool to have.
This from the Citizen-Times:
“The National Register is a vital tool in the preservation of North Carolina’s historic resources. North Carolina is a leader in the nation’s historic preservation movement” said Dr. Jeffrey J. Crow, Deputy Secretary, North Carolina Department of Cultural Resources. “When all of the individual buildings in historic districts are counted, it is estimated that North Carolina has approximately 50,000 National Register properties.”
