He continues to pile obstacles for this struggling area, which exists in the shadow of NOMA. The arts development would have been the perfect remedy to the over saturation of social services that the city maintains on these blocks. Ann Corbet and many others recognize the draw that this type of architecture has for invigorating urban renewal in the area with live/work spaces for artists. Too bad that the mayor, the planners and economic development office don't get it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22305958.post-45387593412450802992010-03-16T14:49:16.072-04:002010-03-16T14:49:16.072-04:00nolan: sounds like we're fairly close to discu...<b>nolan</b>: sounds like we're fairly close to discussing single-issue voters here, which church congregations can often be. i would wager that people who would be in favor of the CuDC proposal would probably have a diverse set of other interests, making it difficult to move them as a block in anything outside of their opinion on this site...IMGophhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10389077782536090328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22305958.post-23817757181922944892010-03-16T14:42:31.061-04:002010-03-16T14:42:31.061-04:00You're probably right, IMGoph.

Politicians are transparent, their motivations are nearly identical across the board. Someone just needs to show that there are political consequences to decisions like this (granted, much easier typed than done).<br /><br />And aren't people always complaining that all the church-goers live in Maryland?
