This is just a pacifier. None of the proposals are acceptable unless they addresse what the tenant is going to do after that year of support is up. I've never made $2400 a month in my lifetime, much less enough to pay that rediculous rent AND pay all the other costs of living.

Instead, some of the new apartments should be reserved for former tenants of the site, with their rents set equal to what they were paying before they were kicked out, and controls set so that their rents remain in the same range and don't suffer massive increases later on.

That would only be fair for people losing their homes just so somebody else can make more money. Is profit more important than people? Do developers trump citizens?

Once again you are posting to the secondary ("Print") image of this article on Town Square.

All of the past comments are on the earlier public copy of the same article: Web Link

Well, I bet the new row house development will use LESS WATER than the old mobile home park and motel/houses did when they were all operating. So that's a plus.
