Any response from District 87? https://blnnews.com/2024/03/12/d87-fire-this-bloomington-fireman/
You thought your kids matter at school?
Tent City continues to grow, it has spread to the old Pantagraph building. On Monday the Bloomington City Council will hear plans for the downtown streetscape.
Maybe they can “tent” multiple blocks! It will be glorious!
This will keep me and my kids from visiting downtown.
Wherever Progressives are in charge destruction and poverty follows.
Once they sanctioned the tent city by the Mission, this is the result. You better believe this is all part of the plan. Gleason wants to build The Projects, Public Housing on the old Coachman Motel property. The taxpayers will be forced to pay the rent, property taxes, maintenance, & upkeep.
Your thinking is accurate. The planning community has always promoted Section 8 , affordable housing, etc. being close or in existing neighbors and better yet, affluent ones. The convoluted thinking is based on the lower classes learning “living skills” from the more educated and affluent populace. If the lower class sees the higher class “doing the right things” daily, the higher class living skills will rub off on them. It’s FUBR I know. but most in planning really believe it.
Unfortunately there are more tents in different places around the city. Just not as many clustered in one place.
California right here in Bloomington!
Yep, if San Francisco can do it, so can we! Be proud Mboka, be proud! Channeling your inner Congo?
The democratic bureaucracy doesn’t realize that they just cut their income capacity by devaluation of the affluent neighborhood homes tax base. Lower property values equal lower property taxes, duh!!! Of course they then raise the rates to accommodate their own stupidity.
