To the editor: The Metropolis Council ought to reverse its choice that declared Marilyn Monroe’s home a historic cultural monument (“L.A. stopped a couple from demolishing Marilyn Monroe’s home. Now, they’re suing,” Feb. 3).
Generally, the general public curiosity in a non-public property outweighs the rights of the property proprietor. That isn’t the case with this home.
The house owners are proper once they declare of their lawsuit that there isn’t a “precise profit to the general public.”
Monroe was and is beloved. And she or he briefly lived on the home earlier than dying there. However these will not be good causes to justify why the home is a profit to the general public, or why it needs to be protected at the price of the lack of rights of the house owners.

It’s so simple for Marilyn Monroe followers to get what they need on another person’s dime. In the event that they wish to protect Monroe’s residence, they need to purchase it.
