A historical district will become a negative in the end. I object!

Always a worry when others feel the need to fix something that obviously isn't broken and exercise ever more control over others.

As a homeowner in Newburyport, and as my properties would be included in this District, I find it appalling that I would be asked to submit plans to alter my homes to a panel of appointed “experts.”

Once they get, they will only seek more control.

There is nothing you can say to change that. However, if someone buys my home for 800 large you can do what you will with it.

For over 30 years a select group of people and the NRA have stifled the development of the waterfront because it is not what they want. This continues even after the public survey which was overwhelmingly in favor of the limited parking, open space design.

And to think this whole nonsense began because some newby didn't like the way his neighbor kept his property. Disgusting!

The district will simply establish an architectural gestapo that can rule against any one they dislike.

I believe the home owners proudly keep the historical integrity of their houses as they have done so since early 1800's. The state tried to widen High Street but citizens prevailed without a LHD in place.
