The community is outraged and the city is in the act of designating the building as a historical site. The owners in turn are threatening to sue the city. To me it’s clear that the city intends to violate the owner’s property rights, but I’m sad for myself and others that such a work be lost. For my emotions to align with reason, how should I feel if the owners prevail? http://www.peikoff.com/2012/12/10/ybrook-there-is-a-frank-lloyd-wright-designed-home-in-phoenix-and-the-owners-want-to-demolish-it-the-community-is-outraged-and-the-city-is-in-the-act-of-designating-the-building-as-a-historical-site/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=ybrook-there-is-a-frank-lloyd-wright-designed-home-in-phoenix-and-the-owners-want-to-demolish-it-the-community-is-outraged-and-the-city-is-in-the-act-of-designating-the-building-as-a-historical-site http://www.peikoff.com/2012/12/10/ybrook-there-is-a-frank-lloyd-wright-designed-home-in-phoenix-and-the-owners-want-to-demolish-it-the-community-is-outraged-and-the-city-is-in-the-act-of-designating-the-building-as-a-historical-site/#comments Mon, 10 Dec 2012 07:00:11 +0000 admin http://www.peikoff.com/?p=5701 http://www.peikoff.com/2012/12/10/ybrook-there-is-a-frank-lloyd-wright-designed-home-in-phoenix-and-the-owners-want-to-demolish-it-the-community-is-outraged-and-the-city-is-in-the-act-of-designating-the-building-as-a-historical-site/feed/ 0 Emotions,Rights Peikoff no 2:28 I enjoy dancing in private, but can’t do so when anyone is watching because I’m too embarrassed.
