I'm reworking a zoning reform presentation to my mayor and commission and have been trying to come up with ways to address the concern on density and fear of change, this was spot on in expressing the sentiment and ways to move past.
Great post. Reframing how we love something is important. G.K. Chesterton has a good way of putting it: if you love a very specific thing about a place, you might be willing to compromise its integrity for sake of that one arbitrary thing; but if you love it, you're open to reforming it for the sake of keeping its spirit alive.
PS can you share where you got those photos from? I love saving places on Google Maps that look cool.

Thank you for this!
Thanks, Danielle! I just posted a follow on article. Hopefully there's one or two additional helpful notes there.
