What does everyone think about this? Ringo Starr's Liverpool birthplace in new threat. It makes me sad, but I don't have a solution. 
Ugh, city planners. I've yet to hear a good plan from these planners.

They should make a Museum of Ringo. That would make me happy.

If the neighborhood is truly in a state of disrepair, new homes make sense.
At the same time, tell me there isn't something they can do to keep Ringo's childhood home intact by building around it. It is done all the time.
I'm quite surprised that it is not already a protected landmark.
To the fountain of perpetual mirth, Let it roll for all its worth.

I suppose it's cost prohibitive to restore all of them, but I don't see why they can't build around it. The National Trust bought Paul's and John's childhood homes…
Perhaps I'm not remembering this correctly, but he was born there, but then moved to another location when his dad left and his mom couldn't afford to stay, right? Which house do you preserve, and is the second home ok?

Yeah skye, he was born there. That in itself should have be enough to get the NT involved, I would think. Perhaps our brethren from the UK can shed some light on how that works.

The NT would only buy it if they thought it was a significant asset to the nation. Now you could argue that Ringo's birthplace fell into that category, but there are thousands of notable people in British history and sometimes you have to draw the line.
According to the BBC story Skye posted earlier, Ringo lived there for three months before moving to Admiral Grove, where he stayed for about 20 years. That would be worth protecting, I think.
FYI, neither Forthlin Road or Menlove Avenue were Paul or John's birthplaces, nor the first houses they lived in.

Well as long as Admiral Grove is ok, I can live with it (what choice do I have?). But there's nothing interesting about new homes or condos.

In October, I went on a trip to see John and Paul's houses in Liverpool, and there was time at the end to see Madryn Street. I don't know if anyone else has seen, but there's quite a lot of graffiti on the now boarded-up door and windows. Someone has even written "Don't knock me down" (a play on "Don't let me down").

I've read that fans have been stealing bricks from the house. Did you see any evidence of that?

Liverpool council has put metal grilles on all the windows in the condemned streets, but Ringo's has extra bits around the edges because apparently people kept chipping away at them.
Here's the street on Google Maps.

Oh no! The first I heard of this was on the local news here (the weird thing is I live in Texas…) and I was M-A-D. Why do they have to do this? IT WILL RUIN MY TRIP TO LIVERPOOL WHERE I GO TO ALL THE BEATLE RELATED THINGS!

haha, I have to admit, that made me laugh. I mean, I saw that on the news when it was announced and I was like "I live in California… I'm on the other shining sea". But what's happening to George's birthplace if John and Paul's are safe (for now)? And I thought that Ringo said that he didn't mind, either.

Really, why care? This is a ghosttown and unimportant. I love you Ringo, but I haven't any desire to go to the Dingle.

Ringo said in a interwiew:
Yes, I've heard the building will be teared, but it's OK.
Just so many memories.
And no Joe. It's not anthology. It's from my local newspaper, that he'll play in Norwegian Wood.
