Interesting in that this really validates the theory that opposition to this project is based on fearmongering and baseless statements.

I would wager to guess that Turtle Creek didn't get to be an area "qualified" for high rises at the snap of a finger.

I've always believed that your neighborhood is what you make of it and that things don't change overnight. They "trend."

Here's another interesting statement: "this [] is only greedy developers attempting a home run with little at risk."

See and here I am publishing this stupid blog for free! All I need to do is to "whup out" these multiple millions of dollars I have rotting away in my wallet, build a high rise condo somewhere and I'm out of this stupid blog business!

Money, sir, doesn't grow on trees. Every builder who builds a building doesn't guarantee herself a return on the investment. Just because Emerald is built, doesn't mean they are guaranteed one sale.

The bottom line is that we have an opportunity to plan change for the area. The question we must answer is simple: do we want to take an opportunity to establish this side of the lake as an upward trending single and multi-family area, or do we want to pass on the opportunity and risk declining property values and dubious commercial developement later?

If we don't put our own ball into motion, someone else will!
