The number of facts I discovered to be inaccurate is astounding. There is no 5 million dollar home at Hirschfeld Towers or McMeen Elementary, for example. There's even info on supporters of the DeBoers situation.<br /><br />-CarmichaelAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14162253.post-1160223144444253482006-10-07T06:12:00.000-06:002006-10-07T06:12:00.000-06:00This is interesting.

I feel sorry for them! Maybe there is a way we can help! Can we write letters of support?

Has anyone heard a...I agree with the above poster. Has anyone heard about the current fight over the DeBoer Historic District? What a mess that is. And all the neighbors (and a few beyond) on the adjacent Pinon Court are complicit in creating HUGE financial hardships on the poor family that was simply trying to sell their inherited property and move on with their lives after a relative passed away. It is hard enough to sell the house you and your mother grew up in, but the neighbors in the area have created a nightmare for these poor people who should be able to sell their property as they see fit. The property had a contract. The neighbors chased away the buyer. The property is still for sale, but is in limbo as the owners wait for the city to make a decision on a horribly stilted and deceptive historical district designation application. How about doing what is RIGHT here and letting people have their property rights instead of infringing upon those rights? What these nasty 'neighbors' have done is WRONG and not 'neighborly' in any sense of the word. They have (admittedly) used the city's Landmark Preservation Commission to help them stop development. This is WRONG.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14162253.post-1160167442832312222006-10-06T14:44:00.000-06:002006-10-06T14:44:00.000-06:00What people in Wash Park don't realize is that the...What people in Wash Park don't realize is that the WWPNA has now tried to control things outside of their boundaries. They are bleeding into WUCA territory in order to conspire with neighbors of a property that is for sale to stop everything in its tracks by using city services against other Denver citizens. <BR/><BR/>They are also using contacts with employees within the city to fulfill their own selfish interests. Property rights are going to be a thing of the past if someone doesn't put these people in their place. <BR/><BR/>There are a lot of crooked things going on between some neighborhood associations and the City. We just need to find the exact connections to combat it. Those who run the WWPNA are also making money off of this blatant attack on the poor people in WUCA territory by using their own personal businesses and getting paid for their services. Conflict of interest? Some City Council member (who used to run the WWPNA) has also been connected with this infringment of property rights. At what point do the members of the community and the City of Denver actually begin to defend the tax paying public who are victimized by abuses of power?<BR/><BR/>The folks who are being victimized are being forced to pay for legal fees because of this attack putting them in further debt. The whole idea for selling the property in the first place was to get out of debt and pay off the deceased relative's bills. But the neighbors have seen fit to publicly attack and abuse city services (and the city lets them do it) in order to stop time in it's place. <BR/> <BR/>The previous poster was right when they said these people are going to have a rude awakening. Life does keep going and change does happen. I say, move somewhere else if you can't handle what is going on in your neighborhood.<BR/><BR/>People shouldn't be allowed to just take away someone's property rights for their own personal gain.<BR/><BR/>People really need to keep an eye on their neighborhood associations and be aware of what's going on. We need to hold those who run the associations accountable for their actions.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14162253.post-1154894655457956602006-08-06T14:04:00.000-06:002006-08-06T14:04:00.000-06:00Things are really getting nasty in the hood, check...Things are really getting nasty in the hood, check out a nimbygal's letter to the editor of the Wash Park Profile<BR/>http://www.washingtonparkprofile.com/letters_editor/index.htmlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14162253.post-1146712129441183192006-05-03T21:08:00.000-06:002006-05-03T21:08:00.000-06:00Nowadays, there are at least a few members of WWPN...Nowadays, there are at least a few members of WWPNA that feel just as you do. However, city council seems resigned to the fact that some form of downzoning that prohibits large duplexes will happen.<BR/><BR/>This would be a dirty shame close to the new light rail station, because in fact we need HIGHER density near the TOD (Transit Oriented Development)<BR/><BR/>Anyway, with a little more publicity about the issues and WWPNA's persistent nimbyism, some more folks like yourself might get off the sidelines and make a difference.Kevin Dicksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13116311693621338347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14162253.post-1133479297406066142005-12-01T16:21:00.000-07:002005-12-01T16:21:00.000-07:00Details on the Perk and Pub issue.Details on the <A HREF="http://www.westword.com/issues/2004-10-28/news/calhoun.html" REL="nofollow">Perk and Pub issue</A>.Andrew Oh-Willekehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02537151821869153861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14162253.post-1128196373785260402005-10-01T13:52:00.000-06:002005-10-01T13:52:00.000-06:00I don't understad what she ^ said.I don't understad what she ^ said.Rosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05594369743039742596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14162253.post-1128110836798969142005-09-30T14:07:00.000-06:002005-09-30T14:07:00.000-06:00It's kind of sad when things change, but it's scar...It's kind of sad when things change, but it's scary when they don't.
