   The property-rights issues alone are sufficient grounds to oppose preservation, ANC Commissioner William Boston believes: "In D.C., we're already dealing with limited voting power, services are suspect, we've got a hybrid school board-I'm not really for limiting anything else." But he's not sure that the hundreds of other neighborhood protesters were concerned with libertarian philosophy. "People think there's a plot within historic preservation," he says.

   Last Wednesday, Boston told a cheering crowd of several hundred, "We have to go after renegade organizations in the community-that's where the head of the snake is." He was referring to the BCDC.
   
   The way Brookland at large learned of the historic-district bid didn't encourage reasoned discussion. Although the BCDC says that its interest in protecting Brookland's history has never been a secret-that goal appears in the nonprofit's bylaws-ANC commissioners say they had no idea the organization had completed the years of background work necessary for a historic-preservation bid and was already working on the formal application. Boston says that Brookland likely would have disapproved of the BCDC's plans under all circumstances, but, because the community was blindsided by the proposal, what would have been a polite no turned into howls of outrage.
