(3,352 posts)should have standing. But how about the historical Preservation society. In Charleston South Carolina, where I lived for eight years, you couldn't paint your 1832 house without permission.

We need to wise up. One thing about trumpsters-- they like that he just does stuff. It's probably bad/vile stuff, be he doesn't take years to do it or get approval. A big reason trump won, unfortunately.
