What people need in confined urban areas is open space with some grass and trees. Packing every square inch with a building creates a more depressing environment for the city residents whose interests are supposed to be represented by our local govt., not the interests of developers, construction companies, or people from wherever on the HHA waiting list.

And this is what we need most of all.

How close am I to being accurate here? <br /><br />Perhaps they should just liquidate everything while prices are high before prices drop due to a ratcheting up of interest rates, and later on perhaps in taxes as well to finance all those pilots being handed out (yes that is my prediction, which I offer up for free), give the proceeds of sale to the City, and dissolve. Yeah I am offering my advice on this one for free too.Steve Dunnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04588935402322108968noreply@blogger.com
