The city needs to bring as many people as possible back to the city. I can cut Kennedy a little slack, his ward is a bit more stable than most because he has gotten individuals to salvage homes that were salvageable, keeping demolition to a minimum as more development takes place. You move the ball down the court by "stabalizing" which encourages more people to develop. Good strategy! We may loose an occasional house, but...loosing one is better than loosing six or seven and having that neighbor, then others move out. Sort of like the county spending $300k to fix up a few foreclosed homes to sell rather than leaving them vacant in an otherwise flourishing neighborhood. <br /><br />Let's be fair and imagine our- selves as the neighbor having to live NEXT DOOR to the house. Who knows what kind of hell the neighbors have been going through with this house in its present state. Yes, there are many in certain parts of the city that have problems getting insurance!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7006035116970579216.post-2018814903842558542010-09-28T08:39:28.378-05:002010-09-28T08:39:28.378-05:00"Terry Kennedy...testified in favor of demoli..."Terry Kennedy...testified in favor of demolition, stating...the house to the east of 5148 Enright...was demolished after an arson fire, and this one would probably be next...for an arson fire." What a simpleton. Still, it was approved for demo, so what does that say about the Board members?samizdatnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7006035116970579216.post-70851623767876006892010-09-28T08:01:33.182-05:002010-09-28T08:01:33.182-05:00Kennedy just doesn't like historic architectur...Kennedy just doesn't like historic architecture; it might get too many white people to move into his ward.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
