I feel terrible for the owners of 189 ocean ave., not only because of this landmarking situation, but because they have to put up with such childish neighbors! They've been called horrible names! The truth is, the people who live at 189 ocean ave. are just trying to protect themselves in the same way that the rest of the block is. And, ironically, 185 ocean sold to developers. Isn't that one of the things that you're trying to prevent with landmarking? The people who live at 189 are kind, decent people who angered the other neighbors by not letting them park in their backyard, a situation that the owners of 185 created. The neighbors have been angry at them ever since. The landmarking project sounds a lot more like a personal vendetta than an effort to preserve beautiful houses.
