I do need to address the question, and it may have been rhetorical, how dare anyone imply that this area is not significant? I haven't heard anybody imply such a thing. It is truly significant.

There are so many priorities; yet there are thousands and thousands of wonderfully historic significant pieces of property. No one, I would hope, would dare say that this area was not significant. It is quite significant.
