state funding for maintenance of 33 state-owned historic properties (21)
- Not
letting historic ambiance of city be overrun by development and commercial
interests (21)
- Keep character
of each of the residential neighborhoods (20)
- Residential
interests should take precedence over tourism (22)
- Parking
issues and traffic planning (17)
- Might lose
some of our best commissioners in November (15)

of “teardown-to-McMansionization” to neighborhood character (22)
- Replacing real,
historic structures with imitations (17)
- Preserve
20th century structures (12)
- Preserving
threatened open space (14)
- Enforce
codes that are already on the books: parking, noise, garbage, etc. (i.e.
quality of life issues) (16)
- Restaging

Development Council (TDC) funds for restoration/preservation (11)
Comments:
Interesting – Use of TDC funds for restoration/preservation
Surprising – Enforce codes that are already on the books
Left Out – Demolition not on city-wide concerns list; Reclaiming use
of the Plaza
from
the vendors
