However the residents in the area surrounding 1202 DeKalb would like to think that we and this area are as important as others and other sections of Norristown. And after all, we are long term homeowners who also pay taxes. We fought against this project for several reason one being it's high density issues, and I can only hope others are not faced with the same problem in the future.India Ballardnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4571535966122502809.post-77304013946992511212013-10-03T11:02:55.880-04:002013-10-03T11:02:55.880-04:00From Doug Seilor on Facebook:

Public money, if given to developers at all should be used to fund the kind of things that are listed as high-priorities and are called for in (where else) our Comprehensive Plan. A document that, it appears no one on Council, except perhaps Linda Christian, has read.ELENA SANTANGELOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03257788794914218924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4571535966122502809.post-16305165577174805342013-10-02T21:09:41.439-04:002013-10-02T21:09:41.439-04:00Well, I just hope that all parties can make the be...Well, I just hope that all parties can make the best of this bad situation. And that the residents will not get the short end of the stick. We are pretty much at the mercy of the council and the developer. With the ever present threat of 24 units which were approved, all we can hope for is a reduction to 18. So if the Jolly Green giant slid down the bean stalk threatening to gobble us all up if we pay the ransom I would tell him to go for it. Because our quality of life has already been taken away, and at this point we can only try to salvage what we can.India Ballardnoreply@blogger.com
