Yup, i’m all for maintaining historical areas, but where the Arc is located is far from “historical”

I have said this before on this sub. Every historical building worth preserving is already well preserved. Historical preservation commissions serve only 2 purposes:

  1. It give extraordinary power to unelected elites to determine whist constitutes the “public good”

2 it’s a giant money laundering/ wealth transfer scheme that washes public funds into the pockets of the elites through tax credits, grants and other giveaways

The saddest part is that there are so many uninformed sheeple who so easily fall prey to this whole scale scam.
