""...I think the critics out there think with their blinders on.""
I could not help but to be infuriated by that quote. I realize that there are 2 sides to any debate, but it seems so clear to me that it is the supporters of this project who are wearing blinders and not the opposers. Permanent destruction of gorgeous, iconic land for a project is just too big for an area this sparsely populated, one that will more than likely hurt our downtown community seems terribly narrow-sighted to me.
The only thing I have heard supporters say is that they like growth, commerce and jobs. On BOTH sides of the issue, we all want that, but it has to be the kind that best suits the community. This project simply is not and I can't wrap my head around any argument suggesting that it could be.
"Referring to his opponents, Sammis said, "They ought to have their arm around me saying, 'Holy smokes, what a good job you've done!'""
How arrogant. And no.
