A Comment Worthy Of A Post

The mayors tax hike was cut by a super majority 4 to 1 vote. The mayor and Mitchell like to point fingers at Campbell, Cohen and Spies, while Shannie also voted to not raise taxes. Kudos to all four. We all know Shannie would usually vote opposite Campbell and Cohen in the past, I take it she felt very strongly to vote down Ireton's budget.The reason Ireton wants low income housing downtown: to follow a plan to relocate all the low income housing on the west side of the river, so it can be flipped and sold as high dollar river front property.There are already some McMansions just a stones throw from the WWTP on the river. So don't let anyone fool you that those old run down homes on the west side don't have futuristic value.They just need to get the current dwellers out first.

If this is the mayor's plan to relocate those from the west river side to downtown because he believes the propety west side is high value then he is wacko!
There is going to be only a limited number of people who are going to want to live anywhere near the WWTP. There's a stigma attached to such places no matter the handful of McMansions that have been built.

Yeah WTH's up with that first comment? Maybe they better come back later-preferably when they are sober.

There is some developers that only care about the dollar,not whats good for the city!Building section 8 housing in downtown is clearly for someones best interest.
