Comprehensive EXECUTION and Concerted ACTION by the city will make this happen correctly. Can we count on that? If you up the zoning density you have to be ready to really hold every single proposed change or development up to a very high standard and be prepared to make sure nothing gets rubber stamped through because they are in a council members back pocket.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5086863804484830254.post-37105653531923185472007-11-20T21:15:00.000-08:002007-11-20T21:15:00.000-08:00So, it's safe to say we can all vote for those not...So, it's safe to say we can all vote for those not currently in leadership and be better off. Sweet, let's bounce them! But seriously, I'm all for giving people a chance to make here, my mother's family immigrated here after WWII and made a good life for themselves and honored their community. My concern is the areas around here seem to be stuck in neutral and the residents in some of these buildings aren't doing much to take care of their kids let alone the area. Additionally, go take a walk around French Park (BTW Paul, your lovely sign is tagged in the little park in front of the beautiful Victorians) how the hell do you comprehend seeing a perfectly restored 120 year old victorian sitting next to an apartment complex with 12 to an address?? Something's wrong here and although the "plan" lays it out, we can't hope too much for it's execution nor the appropriate support to get there.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14837695723854122573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5086863804484830254.post-16747506252904292612007-11-20T17:38:00.000-08:002007-11-20T17:38:00.000-08:00Wow, Ben, great blog!
