LETTERS: Not every house needs to be preserved

Dear Editor Re: Demo on hold for 1937 house in New West, Dec. 7. Coun. Bill Harper’s interpretation of heritage preservation seems regressive and far too broad.

Dear Editor

Re: Demo on hold for 1937 house in New West, Dec. 7. Coun. Bill Harper’s interpretation of heritage preservation seems regressive and far too broad. By his thinking, every structure in New West would be classified as having a significant place in the city’s history and be on the preservation list. The house in question is so bland and is such underuse of a good lot that issuing its demolition permit should have been a slam dunk.
