Why was all this positive energy invested into the downtown just to have a HUD building as its gateway? it doesn't make sense. <BR/>This is a little off topic, but if the Planning Commission can put so much time and energy into modifying their ordinances to fit this plan, it should't be too hard to put a pool in my little back yard or a 20 foot fence around my property. If they jump hoops for this project they have to jump hoops for everyone. Whats fair is fair. I don't get whats going on.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7888510041198780859.post-74888371782929707622008-07-27T21:48:00.000-04:002008-07-27T21:48:00.000-04:00Great Idea Karen !
