Jim Melvin, John Lomax And Tony Collins On Trader Joe's

Greensboro is the center of the 2nd hungriest Metropolitan Statical Area in the United States, has a poverty rate over 21%, the highest unemployment of any comparable city in North Carolina and is #4 in the nation in the number of commercial properties under construction for MSAs between 200,000 and 1 Million population.

That, my friends, pretty much says everything Collins, Lomax and Melvin and pushing for is bullshit designed to keep them rich and you poor.

And proof that real estate development is not the key to Greensboro's future.

In the linked article, Collins mentions how developers are looking to cities like Nashville. Well it just so happens I have the March 17 copy of Time Magazine on my desk and in it is a feature article entitled Red Hot Town that tells us all about the boom that is going on in Nashville today. It's said to be the best place in the country to invest. The same article also goes on to say,

"Over 72% of students in metropolitan Nashville's public schools are economically disadvantaged."

This is the kind of Greensboro Melvin, Collins and Lomax dream of building.

And Collins didn't bother to mention there is no state income tax in Tennessee or that Nashville has the best healthcare in the nation. That is, if you're rich enough to buy it.
