Keep in mind that at the time they were built, Arts & Crafts style homes were considered modern. By not permitting "modern" homes to be built in Hillcrest and other neighborhoods with historic style homes, you are limiting the architectural character of a neighborhood to a snapshot of a period. Imagine if Hillcrest in the early 20th century had limited development to just Victorian styles and excluded the new "modern" Arts & Crafts!
