Sounds like a sensible…

Sounds like a sensible compromise is being made with respect to cultural heritage and need for housing. I am currently working as a conservation/heritage architect here in Ontario and while there is obviously a need to conserve what marks valuable historical moments in our history, if we fail to address the crisis of lack of housing that plagues many communities today, I fear there will be no heritage worth conserving 50 years hence. It is hard to justify the slow and costly endeavor of protecting and restoring vacant property when so many are being left behind.

So, as a heritage architect, and one that values history and conservation - I say let's get these homes built.

Good luck.
