Why are you such a reductionist?

Obviously, if you reduce these matters to pure dollars and cents your
argument seems logical. Having a strong historical commission should
help prevent the decay of these old structures so that they do not
become so dilapidated that they require massive amounts of cash to
repair. Reducing these matters to dollars and cents is a simple
minded approach to fixing this problem posed by simple minded people
who see no value to preserving historical architecture. The loudest
mouths in this issue are those seeking to extract as much rent out of
as many students as they can before these 100-200 year old buildings
fall down around them. I am all for affordable housing but the
buildings in university city and powelton village ARE NOT
AFFORDABLE!!!! Taken as is they cost a fortune to heat, a fortune to
insure, and a fortune to repair even negating historical correctness.
Either agree to tear them down or sell them to people who care about
them and can afford to care for them properly.
