I don’t think the neighborhood had the funds to purchase the homes. I believe the developer has bought 8 homes total—homes along national, sunshine, and university street.

I think the meeting is tonight!

The developers who bought the house also bought several home around it—in University Heights. They want to rezone it for commercial, retail, possibly loft style living as well. The city hasn’t had a zoning meeting yet but the developers knocked down the house anyway.

The neighborhood is worried they’ll continue to knock down historic homes and basically destroy the neighborhood as they know it, albeit through traffic, home values, etc.
