Trevor Stewart, president of Village Preservation, notes in its annual report for 2022:
“Our city is at an inflection point in so many ways, as it faces real challenges for its future direction. Will we repeat the mistakes of the past and give over vast swathes of our city to big real estate under the pretense that the public will benefit, or will we pursue new and innovative ways to preserve and add to the qualities that make our city and neighborhoods so distinctive and wonderful? Given the will, we can both preserve and improve livability, affordability and diversity.”
