Battles about teardowns are being waged across the country.
Without effective advocacy, teardowns will continue unabated and the future of your neighborhood will most likely be fashioned by the hand of market forces rather than its residents.

Warning Signs of a Neighborhood At Risk
Wednesday, July 25th, 2007Don’t get caught by surprise. Some things to look out for:
1. A home is put up for sale.
2. A builder buys the home.
3. A home is needing some maintenance or looks unkept.
4. There is an empty lot.
5. After a builder buys a home, he puts it up for rent.
All of these events can lead to teardowns and inappropriate infill. Sometimes, it will include a lot split: two homes are built where one once stood.
Join your neighborhood association, draft a covenant with your neighbors and keep vigilant!
