@H&H

Push a proposal into someone else's neighbourhood, wrap it up with the flag of 'community benefit', draw upon the resources of a well-meaning, intellectual lynchmob, and slam anyone and anything that gets in your way into submission.

Then when the last-minute-desperation sets in, let the name-calling begin.

Hmm...

Here's something for all to think about:

1) FInd out if Fred can present the community with the due deligence report done on the Rheem property before it was presented to Council for an approval.

2) Find out who the realtors were and see if you can show the communty the MLS listing which highlights the site conditions.

3) Get comparables of similar properties for sale and show the community the price of such properties in relation to the Rheem land purchase price.

4) Ask yourself what the real reasons may have been to force a project onto this land.

If we manage to do all of this successfully, maybe we'll find a whole new appreciation for the role of a true 'community builder'. Who knows; maybe along the way we'll also also develop some respect for ourselves and for how little we might actually understand about a situation.

Maybe.
