Starting because I didn't see a thread for this elsewhere.
Josh Matlow announced a sweeping motion to include 258 main street properties on the city's heritage register, all in one shot. This is also labelled as 'Phase 01', to which I presume another sweeping motion is in the works for structures away from major streets.
The response I've seen so far has been smaller than I thought, but nonetheless polarizing; it's either 'ya way to go!' or 'this is NIMBYism and antidevelopment wrapped in a heritage blanket.'
Personally, I'm on the fence: I am for these registrations, but I have not been able to read the rationales for all of them, and as an economist I always fear unintended consequesnces.
Anyway, the motion is here, and it contains the documents with all of the building details and rationales.
