And she no longer works for the COURIER. The writing on this "soap box" reflect only my opinions.<br /><br />Secondly, this post was not about the sale of the land. It's about the plan for a residential development, with families and children, to be built at the site.<br /><br />Former critics of a housing project who cried foul about freeway pollution and its negative affect on children are now actively supporting a new housing development there. <br /><br />What's the difference between the two? One was for "low income" people and the new one is "market rate" housing. Yes, I find this hypocritical.Angela Bailey https://www.blogger.com/profile/08100234094881340496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4753203030852633986.post-62914379104287244942010-04-15T18:33:51.094-07:002010-04-15T18:33:51.094-07:00Good for you, TK!

You willingly label opponents of the project as NIMBY's, even naming Mr. O'Tool, yet you don't mention that your own newspaper opposed the project. Are you calling the Courier hypocrites? Furthermore, you take apples, the simple sale of the property to a private developer, and attempt to make orange juice by chastising these folks for not opposing the sale.<br /><br />Perhaps if the new owner decides to develop a "tot lot" next to the freeway, you might see concerned "citizens" opposing the development. If not, then feel free to call them hypocrites. However, if you're in the mood to label the hypocrites of Claremont, then you should include the ones who were argued for the development but against drive-troughs based on pollution.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
