Updates on plans for development of The Pit. Residents are asking Don Sinex to hold genuine public engagement listening sessions at our Neighborhood Planning Assemblies (NPAs) to hear what we want our city to look like, feel like, be like. We want a new green deal from whoever invests in developing The Pit. We want union labor, livable wages that will be a geyser of prosperity for downtown businesses and the tax collector. We can do this together, the Burlington way.
The Myth of Trickle-Down Market Rate Housing
This article, by Tom Angotti of City College, who came to speak to Burlingtonians last year as part of the Housing Summit sponsored by Save Open Space-Burlington, lays out some of the common myths that justify reckless development, including the myth of trickle down market-rate housing as a solution for the affordability challenge. https://tomangotti.files.wordpress.com/2014/04/zoning-without-planning-2014.pdf
