Letter to the editor: Hill historic district wouldn’t achieve its goals
I have attended many public meetings about the proposed historic district on Munjoy Hill, and I have heard no good arguments in favor of it. The arguments I have heard fall into two types. First, there are aesthetic arguments. These typically involve nasty comments about how ugly someone else’s house is. However, someone else’s aesthetic […]

At the Planning Board meeting to discuss the question of historic district status for Munjoy Hill, the most disconcerting statement of the board’s discussion was that the historic designation would be ”taking the neighborhood off the market.” The Hill has become a prized residential location.
