I'm not saying I disagree with the idea, but it's an awful lot of gov't involvement which always makes me pause. Will this improve the neighborhood or stifle and stagnate it? No way to know in advance.

My guess is people paying $500K for a house in a cool city neighborhood won't be thrilled about a raft of regulations reminiscent of a suburban homeowners association or, as someone else said, a condo association, telling them in minute detail what they can't do to change or protect their property. On the other hand, there will be some who think this sort of thing protects the whole neighborhood from someone else's questionable taste. Do the historic districts even have these many regs?
