Saving Historic Homes
Sacramento Bee editorial praises annual "Fainted Ladies" tour to save historic homes endangered by demolition.
The tour is used as a way to market Sacramento's historic homes: "Each spring, the task force takes inventory of downtown and midtown neighborhoods and works up a list of pre-World War II homes it deems most endangered by demolition; this year there are 271. Some are still lived in but most are boarded up, inhabited occasionally by transients."
