This project is too large for the historic district, it jeopardizes the integrity and character of our neighborhood.

With these homes, there's no green space. They're building on the entire lot. They'll change the whole vision and character. Once you wipe out history, you don't get it back.

I'm tired. I have a life I'm trying to live, which I'm taking away from. We may have to sell, we may have to move, but I did my best.

There are moments when I am so distraught, I can't function.

A team that has character doesn't need stimulation

So do I wish I was to be king? That is not a question I ask myself. I ask myself, Would I be a good king? Would I be quick witted and generous of spirit and full of that boundless energy? Or would I be clumsy and stupid and dulled by my own prejudices? I try to be a good man, since I am alive at all, and hope that that teaches me what I would need to know if I was ever faced with a higher challenge.
