You got that from one comment after an article and because another article/segment is asking for input from residents in terms of its Downtown? Odd...There are plenty of other posts with development in the city/area and how dare the city ask its residents for more ideas. Especially in a day and age where much of the development could care less about the impact on residents.
That's a strange comment. A developer makes money by pleasing it's residents
I'm referring to aspects like gentrification or not considering concerns that you may hear at a meeting.
I think most developers are accommodating, but remember, this is private property and there are zoning codes. I remember not long ago when people were praying for gentrification. I think I know what you're getting at, but what's wrong with some diversity in the neighborhood?

My statement was a general one and the point way back was in regards to the city actually looking for suggestions from residents, which is rare.

Never have a charette in your town? They never ask for public input? Nothing gets approved without a public airing, and time for public comments. And if you don't like the outcome of a zoning decision, you can sue.

I would say that openly seeking development ideas from residents is still different than having a say at a zoning meeting.

Here's a better idea. Why don't the people of the neighborhood decide what THEY want before an outsider comes in? There are plenty of programs to get financing and non profits to help and they can clean up their neighborhood themselves?
^Umm, Did you read the article that the comment was related to?
I’m really not getting the back and forth about a segment/article from 4+ months ago over the recent development that has actually been completed recently(post 173).

No, just responding to your comment that the people don't have a say in what happens in their neighborhood. Some people don't always get what they want, but that doesn't mean their comments weren't considered. Keep in mind, also, that the developer has a right to develop his property too
