THANK GOD I do not live in a "historic" district! All those jerks on the historic board do is make life a living hell for any home owner coming before them! We need to ABOLISH this crap . Most people won't even consider moving here because of Amy Sunny and her band of A-holes.
The whole thing is absurd. This bunch of clowns are preserving a house here and there, while the greater part of the neighborhood rots away.
Nonsense
What planet are you guys on? Have you never visited a town with many beautifully preserved historic homes? These are my favorite places to visit. Lake Worth has hundreds of unique historic homes that will be 100 years old in another few years. They need to be preserved.
9:48 you obviously just visit and don't have to put up with the CRAP of living in a Lake Worth "historic" neighborhood.Ever had to repair an "historic window " or an "historic roof" in your "historic" home? Ever have to go stand in front of the brown shirt board for the third, 4th or fifth time with yet the latest set of architectural plans(and they don't come cheap) in hand while the A-holes look down on you and say "Well,you did what we asked you to do but you really need to adjust this just a bit more,,,,"
"Historic" does not matter in Lake Worth if a developer or a special friend of the administration wants a property. Then the property is BEYOND REPAIR-knock it down.
So 9:48 , are YOU going to foot the bill for all of the "preservation " that you think should happen here?
Just a note of caution to anyone even thinking of moving into Lake Worth- if the property you are looking at is deemed "historic" -RUN LIKE HELL AWAY FROM IT.
