I agree with the affordable/workforce housing issue. We need that Downtown. I did ask Ed Burr about it the other morning at the ULI breakfast.

QuoteThe solution isn't more of the same.

Agreed, but neither will spending 130,000 to fix a park that no one but government workers and vagrants inhabit. Work from the river back, the river is the best part of our city, better than any park, period. Work to make the river more of the destination, and with mass, work your way back.

Fixing Hemming this way, is like what Peyton did in making a pocket park next to Main street.
And, that $115 will save Jacksonville from financial ruin. - Mayor John Peyton

"This is a game-changer. This is what I mean when I say taking Jacksonville to the next level."
-Mayor Alvin Brown on new video boards at Everbank Field

Hemming needs very little done to it.  Do the basic repairs ,clean out any dead/dying trees or whatever and call it a day. 

Should realistically be no where close to $130k

What is the update on this anyway? Has there been anyone trying to buy it from Khan?

I'm not even sure if Khan has even purchased the properties at this point. Wasn't the interview basically saying that he was considering buying them?

^he was saying he would offer lending assistance in the form of a loan to good developers looking to buy and restore it. He's not looking to buy or develop himself.
Do you believe that when the blue jay or another bird sings and the body is trembling, that is a signal that people are coming or something important is about to happen?

Yeah is he offering lending assistance. He stated he his not a develper and not looking to be one. From understanding he has currently being talking to the current developer. He was referred to him by the Chamber of Commerce I think. Hopefully something unfolds.

He basically agreed and said it was something the Civic Council should focus on, he was also asked about transit and highlighted the fact that light rail would be extremely important to success of downtown.

Of course he said that.  I mean what was he going to say?  "I don't think downtown housing is important".  All these "leaders" pay lip service.  It would be nice to see some implementation for once.

I just don't get it.  Why all this talk of light rail? 

Do people just not even read the studies they pay for?

Read them?  They probably don't even know the studies exist.
