Marking historical

[clif9710 1]

I have been looking over posts about marking things historical. Am I correct that this will freeze development of a lot and that is its only function?

Yes.

yes.

I don't agree, abandoned historical buildings may not be redeveloped, but they can be rehabilitated. So it may be good to mark abandoned buildings historical, especially if they are buildings that you want to keep, or hard to get. Normally you don't want you your 2x3 CO$$$ office "redeveloped" as a CS$ shop with 80 CS$ jobs, you rather want to protect it from such a "redevelopment". It will be re-occupied when conditions improve.

Thanks for that comment because it answers another question. I was wondering if lots could downscale into a lesser property. I'd been thinking that the only thing that could happen on the down-value side would be abandonment then the building would either sit there unoccupied or partially occupied or burn down but would never be replaced.
