Excessive Growth
825 W 8th ST

Garbage scattered all over front and back yard
This house has been abandoned since bob raper died over two years ago. The roof is caving in and the neighbors are concerned about squatters. What is the status? This is a blight on our neighborhood.
Can the city conduct a review of the historic preservation board? There is little to no predictability, and I'm confused what purposes the city has for the group. Who do they represent? They don't seem to favor property owners or take cost into consideration but they also don't seem to favor the public by thinking what would the public want to save. And they don't favor the neighbors (and shouldn't because it shouldn't be just about making folks rich enough to own historic homes richer) as they don't listen to them either? Who do they listen to? And what are they saving for who? There should definitely be protection, I'd just like to know better what their goals are. I don't know if the group functions as intended.
Excessive growth in front and back of property
Bamboo is along the back alley of this home.
