The article “The historic value and capital challenges of Geneva Village” only presents a single perspective and is disappointing as a consequence. That perspective is that Geneva Village is actually a gateway, that Eugene Sternberg’s work is unequivocally worth preserving, and that historical preservation must mean that nothing can change.

For example, it doesn’t give any thought at all to how the best parts of Eugene Sternberg’s ideals could be embodied in a bold private development that provides much-needed housing stock to the general public. I challenge the merit behind anyone who says Geneva Village is actually a gateway. In fact, I would speculate that most of Littleton’s residents have never heard of it or would even notice it when driving by on Prince at 35 mph.

It’s really a shame that this kind of one-sided reporting is happening so close to an important decision on the heels of a thorough public presentation by the city staff. I encourage anyone to go back and read the Littleton Independent’s other articles on this subject and proceed with skepticism on many of the claims presented as fact by the residents mentioned in this article.
