(At least it wasn't a tweet at 3 a.m.)<br /><br />"Since you didn't have the time to stay for the forum to end let me clarify something. I was not there in an official capacity for Galvan but rather to let the people attending know they are very much committed to providing affordable housing in and around Hudson. The rescuing of Housing Resources is a prime example. Developers of this type of Housing are not readily available and should they be, a community needs to be prepared to partner up with them. I was pleased to hear that there may be a new willingness to do such. Otherwise it will be ten more years of the same conversation an in the interim, families will be forced to go elsewhere. One has to wonder if that isn't the plan for some in the first place."<br /><br />He's right. I didn't stay to the end of the forum. I left after an hour to go to City Hall for the Planning Board. I did, however, watch Dan Udell's video to the end before writing this post, and I watched again this morning to see if I missed the "new willingness" he speaks of. All I heard was Bill Hughes, who has always seemed in the thrall of Galloway, saying he had "reached out" to him.

Scores of abandoned and derelict buildings all over the city under Galvan's ownership. <br /><br />Placing a proposed SRO smack in the middle of our commercial district was offensive. The organization's behavior has been beyond deplorable on so many levels. <br /><br />Not good peeps. That's been observed and documented over and over. <br /><br />Scalera is a paid employee of Galvan. Anyone giving him airtime when he speaks on behalf of Galvan is a downright fool. <br /><br />Galvan has recently created a seemingly innocuous and off-the-radar LLC that has bought up a bunch of properties in the First Ward. Most are abandoned, neglected or used as substandard housing for his workers, who I am fairly sure might be in ICE's cross-hairs. <br /><br />This is an outrage. <br /><br /><br /><br />Observerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07476845411516796463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5723709701684173708.post-34586269622880977952017-02-26T19:47:11.591-05:002017-02-26T19:47:11.591-05:00Words escape meWords escape meVincenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05548912912359709568noreply@blogger.com
