Renaissance 1960 (West, Ponder: credit, affordable housing, title)

So, do you guys think this will have any positive effect on the area? Or is it all just political BS?

Because I tend to think it's the latter.

What is it?

Supposedly an effort by the local elected officials to revitalize the area after years of decline. Here's their website:

So far, they don't seem to be doing much of anything. Their probably too scared shirtless of offending the slumlords.

I agree with jfre81 on this one. Did you even read that page?

We must stand up and be part of the solution. We should not expect someone to do it for us because we are "entitled"

Or the quite at the bottom, especially the last line

if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

If you got involved with the group then you could answer your own question or just maybe, make a difference. But I will give you credit for giving the group some exposure.

Callo, if you hate this area so much, why are you here? Having been in the 1960 area on and off since 1974, Westador, Ponderosa and now Champions, I am beginning to get tired of your constant harping. Read the quote at the bottom of the linked page. I dare you. These are well intentioned people you are slamming. What could be wrong with trying to stop urban blight and decay in one's community?

The gist of your post suggest some sinister motive. My response is, so what. If they are getting anything other than an atta boy from the community, I don't care. Whatever they do is gonna help all of us. Get to know you very own water board, you might learn something.

I would have thought this component alone would have pleased you
