Being gouged in order to fund the demolition and livibility of your own neighborhood to supposedly save the planet brings to mind those WW II movies where a group of prisoners gets trucked out to the forest, handed shovels, and told they've been specially selected to perform a very important task upon completion of which they will be given their freedom if they do a good enough job.

Icedborscht put it best... a perfect combination of the greedy and the naive...
... of those with trusted authority and those who want so hard to believe.

While Hale may be the worst, it really depends on what time of the day it is. Because Jefferson Smith runs neck and neck with Hale as to which is the biggest slime ball, again, check what hour of the day it is and which way the wind is blowing. This is NOT to imply that Eileen Brady is ANYTHING to cheer about, unfortunately it's like SO many of our recent elections (local, statewide, national), she is only pond scum times 1.9 while the other two (Hale and Jefferson) are pond scum times 2.

What is an example of a non-bunker apartment building you like?

I think what is needed here is a major discussion and/or analysis of what the term affordable housing in our area means? Why won't officials call it public housing, subsidized housing?

It is my observation that what many of us would consider affordable housing, small duplexes, bungalow houses, - I have seen those living spaces such as those that are affordable torn down to make room for dense "public subsidized" housing.
