Whose House Is It, Really?

The inept Nashville Metro Hysterical Historical Commission continues to make life tough for an old lady who put siding on her house so she wouldn't have to continually repaint it, even after a locally headquarted building products corporation - Lousiana-Pacific Corp. - offers to re-side the house for free. LP is the company with its name on the Tennessee Titans' stadium, LP Field. It also is donating its products for the construction of 500 homes by Habitat for Humanity for Gulf Coast residents displaced by Hurricane Katrina. The Metro Historical Commission, meanwhile, has been inept at saving "historical" buildings that are actually worth saving for quite some time. But bullying one old lady for 10 years? They're good at that. Boo Metro Historical Commission. Hooray LP.

Bill,

You hit right on it. Changes have to be made or the city will bully us right out of our homes.

That's why: Kenneth Eaton for Mayor

Sorry, Bill. I'm not with you on this one. I'm a homeowner in a neighborhood with Covenants, Codes and Restristrictions. I was made aware of the CC&R when I bought the house. I know that I can't have a chain-link fence, an outbuilding or goats. It's part of the benefit of living in this neighborhood.

She (the woman) knew the restrictions and put the siding up anyway. SHE'S known for ten years that she was in the wrong. I don't think her "little old lady" status should buy her a pass.
