Because really what we should do is leave a 500 yard swath of open, mowed grass around every single historic building... everywhere.

Give me a break, that's what's awesome about historic buildings in cities. It's like being in a living museum. Think of art in subway stations. History becomes a part of the everyday, it's no longer put up on a pedestal, you can literally interact with it. The historic preservation people in this community go so far over the top, they're turning away people who would otherwise be generally sympathetic to the cause of historic preservation.
