This is really outrageous. Residents in the ANCs mentioned in the piece should write their commissioners.
The Office of Planning’s study of the impact of historic preservation on the District will be conducted by a group invested in a preservation-friendly outcome—an unserious approach for a topic that demands a sober eye.
OP privatizes historic district study, puts it in the hands of preservation cheerleaders

"Would you tell Jack Evans to fundraise for a review of the District’s ethics laws, and then conduct that review?" But that's exactly what DC OP is doing by asking the DC preservation league to assess historic districts. If you are in one of the ANCs listed, please write to oppose this.
