So Fort Wayne may soon have an 1,883-acre "park and boulevard" district added to the National Register of Historic places. Fine. It might get us recognition and some funding. Dandy. But this is the part I was looking for:
Most of the affected property is publicly owned but, unlike local historic districts, the designation would not affect private owners' ability to use their property as they choose.
It says something, doesn't it, that it's felt necessary to explicity say they won't deliberately trample on our private property rights? Thanks for nothing.
