There is a street in Lake Havasu City, Arizona called Broomrape Lane. And that’s where all the “nice” houses are.

My stance on Confederate street names, statues, et al, is that the decisions should be left to the property owners.


Streets, and statues (always located in city parks), are never private property. They are always owned by the local government, or municipality.

So saying "its up to the property owner" is nonsense.

You could argue that "it's up to the local voters" though.


In most cases, the property owners are the government entities, and thus it would be up to the local voters.

So you are correct.
