Reply to comment by Aimless78 in University Heights “Save our homes” signs: what is going on? by Jimithyashford

Development is meant to meet the needs of the entire community. You may get a voice, but it’s far from the only one considered. City leaders, engineers and the business and education community fully support this project.Full speed ahead!

Yes but sometimes those people don't have the community in mind They have kickbacks, bribes, and just pure profit in mind with disregard to what is needed or wanted.

And I love how you are saying my voice is only one voice, which you don't want to hear but yet your voice should be heard and valued more. Why on Earth is your opinion any more valid than mine? (Hint: it is not!)

That pure conjecture and you know it. Can’t you disagree with real arguments?

For the rest of the city, this is an objective issue about development and business and the needs of Springfield. For you and your neighbors it is an emotional decision.

I don't even live in that neighborhood so it is not emotional for me and my neighbors. I do feel that we don't need to tear down every old building in the name of progress. Take a look at thr apartments they built where the YWCA used to be downtown, they were built so quickly and so poorly that they have had nothing but problems since being built. Just what the students that occupy that building want because nothing says home like backed up sewage, electrical issues, and other problems.
