That's the question asked by Dane S. Hill of Pleasant Garden in her LTE in this morning's News & Record. My thinking: with worldwide food shortages predicted in just a few short years a smart society would keep some farm land out of the hands of developers as it's very hard to grow crops on asphalt.
Besides, what fool in his or her right mind would give away hundreds of acres of prime land to a $Billion Dollar corporation? To quote Buggs Bunny, "What a bunch of maroons."
And don't forget, this isn't just the doing of the Guilford County Commissioners. Oh no, the Greensboro City Council shares the blame as well. You see, the plan was hatched by the City funded Greensboro Partnership which answers to Mayor Robbie Perkins and the Greensboro City Council for as long as the Council continues to fund it with your tax dollars.
Leave it to Robme and you'll soon be hungry. I wonder if the soup kitchens in Irving Park would have better soup or just more of it? Are you aware there are currently 74 homes for sale in North Carolina's most desirable neighborhood? In 2007 the average listing time in Old Irving Park was 24 hours, now many of those same homes are in foreclosure. Robme and his developer cronies are getting desperate and will steal anything that isn't nailed down including the nails.
And Zack, you might as well go get drunk again for all the good this is going to do you.
