What does this proposal mean? More bureaucracy when you want to renovate your house, or even make a small repair?
I'm not at all impressed by Cambridge's historic preservation laws. All they accomplish is imposing months of delays and arguing with multiple boards. Meanwhile the neighborhoods that aren't subject to these restrictions are just as pleasant as the ones that are. I wouldn't want to see Somerville head down this path.
