The Porter County Public Library System's Board of Trustees wants to tear down a historic residence to build a parking lot.  This is unacceptable because:

2. It robs the next door neighbors of the opportunity to live in close community with other people
3. It is wholly unnecessary since direct observations prove that an available parking spot is rarely, if ever, more than a block or two away.
