McGinn's Lead Grows
|
In a few years
|
|
|
So in a couple of years, I hope that we have a discussion reflecting on what we thought would happen versus what really happened. No matter who wins. I have not shared my worst fears, and maybe this neighborhood would be so changed that no one would even care if my fears are realized. I worry that we will just be a bunch of fancy SLU's and I am left writing articles about the death of the great american city of neighborhoods.

Ah. Okay. I get what you are saying about cheap throw them up condo projects but condos aren't the enemy. I live in a condo by choice because it's greener to live in a multi-family dwelling, plus it's easy to maintain. I'm a family of five. Neighborhoods don't have to be freestanding houses. Look at Brooklyn!

Not 'condos'
|
|
|
Unlike most people in Seattle, I am not one of those who needs 'my piece of land'. Have lived in condos and been happy doing it. I'm not talking about the buildings per se, rather the complete displacement of people and uses from the city without a care about it. Neighborhood is the character, people and economics, school parks, churches, etc., who already are here. Will we evolve and dense up gracefully? Or, will it feel like an atom bomb was dropped on us? Doesn't matter which one wins, and who is on council and school board have a lot to do with these question,too.

I think the common ground we need to find as a community is figuring out the issues Kathryn is addressing - we need to grow and change while remembering who we are and where we've been. It's the community piece that is most incumbent upon us as neighbors.
