2 years, over 40k, and endless disrespect is what it took to have a paper that says I am allowed to build 5 beautiful homes on these vacant lots next to my home.
After all of this effort we are completely burned out. I have given up the pursuit to build these homes because I do not believe these “historic officials” deserve the quality, time, and effort that I had planned to put into this project. They killed my dream.
These feelings were solidified when I began to see the other construction they approve in the neighborhood (no respect to quality, material, or finishes). If you copy the elevation of the house next door it will be approved. I unfortunately am more creative than this.
