Residents don't want restaurant at Corktown fire station

[Richard]

In this thread about AirBNB it would seem as though the neighbors have no problem with bending the zoning laws.

Read the opening post carefully.


In Florida there is a big building boom with subdivisions going in by the thousands across the state,cute little subdivisions filled with people driving around on golf carts with tape measure in hand to make sure everybody cuts their grass at the proper height,you cannot park your truck in the drive way,if you do not immediately put up your trash can after they dump it,you get a nasty note on the door.

The HOA is more powerful then the local law,do not pay your fees and they can take your house with little recourse,if the bank wants the house they have to pay the fees.

Even the regular non HOA subdivisions are like living in little dictatorships,where did all of those people come from?

This case is about a little fire house and adaptive reuse that benefits the community as a whole and not just a connected few.

Corktown may be a special place now,because in the past it might have been an island in a sea of decay,but look around at what is happening in the big picture its days are numbered,it will soon have to compete with new projects,with new layouts that will be already planned so these things do not happen.

You know what they say,adapt or be left behind.

In the past history was there not neighborhood bars,restaurants,bakeries and more in Detroit?

How did the residents ever survive the turmoil that these cause,and how do they survive in pretty much every other city in the country?

It is not like it is reinventing the wheel.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, a very informed post. You can see all that from 2200 miles away. You must be one of Dionne Warwick's psychotic friends. Why don't you take some time time morning and check your pool for alligators, Richard?
