The idea that a neighborhood's character needs to be preserved is exactly the kind of logic used to justify redlining.

"Random" people should be able to buy property and use it in the same way that existing owners can.

Who is talking about preserving a neighborhood's "character"? We're talking about preserving the concept of a residential area as opposed to abundance of homes being used as commercial hotel-like spaces.

Sorry, but is it not clear that this is my point?
