    I'm pretty sure the developers are threatening to tear it down to get publicity and push the price of the house up, sadly..... They knew their ploy would probably work. And that architecture lovers couldn't stand by and watch it happen. Sad story all around. :(

    "Arizona voters passed in 2006, Prop 207, which calls for the compensation of owners any time the government adopts some regulation that affects the value of their property. No money has been paid so far, but the law has clearly had its desired effect, making cities like Phoenix fearful of changing their regulations and spooking city lawyers and historic preservationists." Ugh this type of law is breeding a whole bunch of speculators who buy up properties either wanting to destroy, or even better turning a quick profit from those who have a conscience.
