City government should control development

What we don't need on the City Council is more developers or real-estate czars like Milton Kern (mayoral candidate), Robbie Perkins and Kevin Green (at-large).

On Nov. 6, let's vote for candidates who are concerned about preserving Greensboro by monitoring the growth of this city with common sense. Stop cutting our trees, stop converting our green areas into concrete and building unnecessary housing, and commit to the fight against global warming.

I was riding with my son down Lee Street at the downtown area on Saturday. His comment was "Why is this area so run-down? Instead of all the building going on way out at New Garden and Pisgah Church, why isn't this area being developed?".

A 20 year old questions urban sprawl.

Campaign slogan: Cut taxes, not trees.

What is "unnecessary housing?" Why would someone build housing unless someone was going to buy it?
