Are they planning job centers for Google, Amazon, and Apple down on Bruceville and Eschinger or Lambert Roads? None of those companies are coming, especially down there.<br /><br />The SOI doesn't even add much freeway frontage which is what employers want.

"Hybrid" zoning, anything goes, whatever the market will support. More of the same rooftops and retail. Dirt equals money. Citizens equal little knats buzzing around the developer's moneybags.

The mayor seems to think he is paying with Monopoly money when he cooks up theses half-baked ideas. <br /><br />But back to the SOI, in the end the mayor and council well probably have their way and just build more rooftops. That is their true "laser focus" here.

At the time that information was divulged I questioned why Davis was pushing for such an odd amount. <br /><br />I am against the SOI in its entirety, but more than ever I am questioning what our esteemed Mayor is doing behind closed doors that no one, meaning residents and council, knows about. Time to come clean Mr. Davis. This city can't afford anymore back room deals.<br /><br />And with respect to Hume, once a developer always a developer. He has to protect his family's interests with regard to the land they either own or have options on in the SOI and transition zone; as well as pay for those campaign dollars he received from the big landowners in the SOI planning area. At least he's consistent. Frederick Nelsonnoreply@blogger.com
