I still don't understand Ireton. If he wants to revitalize the downtown why is he wasting money on more low income housing across the street from the municiple parking lot? The project is also way over priced. The city could BUY 20 houses for that much money, ready to move in houses. What they build will only become dumps over time, Booth Street for example? Drugs, prostitution and shooting, is that what we need to revitalize downtown?
The Bricks????
gaaaaawwwwwwwddd!
Lets hope they are NOT considering those trash pieces of property.(Bricks/laundrdy property)!!!!
Ireton and Shields are playing the race card against the rest of the council. If this is to eventually be low income housing, it should not have anything to do with race. All races with a low income should have an equal shot at being able to rent the rehabilitated housing.
I have to question why so much money will have to be spent to fix the place up after the initial $75,000 grant. With some of the figures that have been printed, it would appear that quite a few single family houses could be built for the same amount of money.
This has nothing to do with racism. It has to do with a project that should never have started in the first place. Both the Bricks and the Linens allowed delinquent owners to get rid of properties that were liabilities and get a tax break.
Tear the Bricks and the Linens down and let private enterprise take over. The City doesn't need these properties and the problems they are and will become.
Let private enterprise tear them down. Or restore them. City should have never taken them in the first place. Can't even fix a pothole and they try to do this.
Caving in to Jim Ireton's rant about racism and voting to support the Bricks project is a sign of weakness. It will also be political suicide to those who vote in favor of the project.
disagree with a liberal & you're a racist. go figure.
Like white people don't need low income housing also. What a clown
The key here is that we can produce a lot more low income housing for that kind of money. The Bricks just smells of something rotten. I hope it's not a Dunn deal
Maryland Affordable Housing Trust??? This sounds like robbing from the rich and giving to the poor. Wealth re-distribution. The downfall of America as we know it.
