Phoenix Place is, if I remember right, a development in Sioux City where they move older homes in and set them up as low-income housing. <BR/><BR/>Between the Hamilton rezoning, the Perry Creek project, and the Wesley Way reconstruction I'm worried that there won't be a tree left standing within a block of the Hamilton corridor. I realize that progress must happen in order to revitalize the neighborhood, but why are they tearing down houses to build commercial properties when there are existing commercial properties standing vacant less than half a mile away? Tear down the abandoned gas stations, or the abandoned car lots, or the abandoned grocery stores and build new things there, maybe, rather than tearing down homes that were occupied. <BR/><BR/>Ah, well... I really liked the "homey" feeling of having houses and trees alongside the road. We've got enough banks and strip malls.Chris the Hippiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18434819898396611160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14812522.post-87194369578211578522007-02-28T12:26:00.000-06:002007-02-28T12:26:00.000-06:00This may make you feel better about "progress".htt...This may make you feel better about "progress".<BR/><BR/>http://www.ktiv.com/News/index.php?ID=10599<BR/><BR/>"...Sioux City leaders cleared the way for businesses to buy land on the east side of Hamilton ... last November. They also approved the first plans for developing that land. For that to happen, 8 homes have to be removed. While four of them were demolished... the other 4 will go here on Phoenix Place."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
