Perhaps the People will have a bit of a voice with the new Council members on board. Then Council members who have left needed to realize that it wasn’t about themselves and their own political legacy.

It’s hard for me to imagine Mr. Cushman as Mayor, after he supported the Yanonali Condominium project as President of the Chamber of commerce. 84 local workers were displaced off of an industrial parcel which had over 25,000 sq feet of workforce space. This Precedent setting luxury housing development put many people out of work, or on the freeways, commuting with the hordes of other trades people each day.
As time plays itself out, there was never any shortage of million dollar condos. What Mr. Cushman supports is the all or nothing tourist fiasco called downtown revitalization, which sorely ignores local interests like the self employed trades that are a vital support for our infrastructure.
The gentrification of the waterfront and down town is part of this visionary process led by the very people in control of our mismanaged City government and developer interests..
There’s no shortage of empty building on State St. and triple the rents for industrial space if you can find it.

This “opinion” piece is written so inaccurately and with the only purpose of enraging the community. This is the real shame. We all know that SBCC is an amazing community college (Main Campus, Schott and Wake) and to submit this piece without researching the facts is truly irresponsible.
agreed!
