Howev...Joe-<BR/>You have made several arguments, agreed. However, to me it's a chicken/egg thing. If we agree to allow the Goodwill, then we ARE a low-income neighborhood. That completely decimates the argument against low income housing and our 15% rule. Because of course, if the infrastructure is built, if the stores are supportive of the community, why wouldn't they continue to hammer us? <BR/><BR/>That center is zoned neighborhood commercial. There are many better places for a Goodwill that meet the needs of the population and will have less impact on the immediate residential areas. <BR/><BR/>Heck, you can't even get there by bus except on the third Tuesday of the month if it's raining or something! There are more connected, more efficient locations that serve the target audience without causing dramatic changes to a retail center.SacramentoBloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17897269944197765449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8984994991198291455.post-18887658793741786962009-01-29T10:43:00.000-08:002009-01-29T10:43:00.000-08:00"I've seen very few arguments that are encompassin..."I've seen very few arguments that are encompassing a positive argument for why a Goodwill is really what North Natomas needs.."<BR/><BR/>I have made quite a few. I will recapitulate..<BR/><BR/>In my opinion, fighting Goodwill is fighting effects, not root causes. I feel Goodwill is an effect of low income housing. I say if you're going to fight something, fight the incoming wave of low income housing about to wash ashore here in North Natomas. Unless we get to the root causes of why Goodwill wants to set up here in the first place, we're only prolonging the inevitable.<BR/><BR/>JoeJoe Sacramentohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14306989531164291440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8984994991198291455.post-46845253495697308052009-01-26T16:27:00.000-08:002009-01-26T16:27:00.000-08:00Thanks for the great article.
