Our goal with the conversation was to spark a broader discussion about to role of historic districts in a growing city. The controversy over the Euclid Street house should be a starting point for the important debate that needs to happen in this city. I know the debate in Oakwood has become heated at times, but the residents of Raleigh and our elected leaders need to be able to have this broader conversation now and not try to deal with these issues development by development.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_21702\"  class=\"wp-caption module image aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 771px;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-large wp-image-21702\" src=\"http:\/\/theraleighcommons.org\/raleighpublicrecord\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/talk6021-2-771x293.jpg\" alt=\"Editor Charles Duncan kicks off the first Raleigh Talks event Wednesday at Tir Na Nog. \" width=\"771\" height=\"293\" srcset=\"https:\/\/theraleighcommons.org\/raleighpublicrecord\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/talk6021-2-771x293.jpg 771w, https:\/\/theraleighcommons.org\/raleighpublicrecord\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/talk6021-2-336x127.jpg 336w, https:\/\/theraleighcommons.org\/raleighpublicrecord\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/talk6021-2.jpg 1120w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 771px) 100vw, 771px\" \/><\/a><p class=\"wp-media-credit\">Karen Tam \/ Raleigh Public Record<\/p><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Editor Charles Duncan kicks off the first Raleigh Talks event Wednesday at Tir Na Nog.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Our work at Raleigh Public Record is meant to spark these larger conversations about policy in Raleigh.

We are a nonprofit, online-only news organization. We focus on Raleigh and only Raleigh with straight, local journalism. We adhere to the Society of Professional Journalists\u2019 Code of Ethics and, despite a new business model and online platform, we are pretty traditional when it comes to our journalism. We often get the question, so what\u2019s your bias? We have two biases: we love this city, it\u2019s our home; and we feel local journalism is one of the keys to a healthy, successful city.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-21704 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/theraleighcommons.org\/raleighpublicrecord\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/talk6039-2-336x218.jpg\" alt=\"talk6039-2\" width=\"336\" height=\"218\" srcset=\"https:\/\/theraleighcommons.org\/raleighpublicrecord\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/talk6039-2-336x218.jpg 336w, https:\/\/theraleighcommons.org\/raleighpublicrecord\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/talk6039-2-771x500.jpg 771w, https:\/\/theraleighcommons.org\/raleighpublicrecord\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/talk6039-2.jpg 1050w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 336px) 100vw, 336px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I hope you\u2019ll consider joining us and supporting local journalism.
