Slow careful thought or indecision?
An op-ed piece by the Times-Union in which the writer hopes that the mayor’s grand plans for downtown doesn’t hold up development in Northbank. Southbank is bustling and prosperous while Northbank is anything but. Although some public projects are full steam ahead, such as the ballpark and the library, storefronts remain empty and the residential side of things isn’t as good as Southside.
Some people blame bureaucratic hold-ups and official dithering when it comes to making a decision. Some others say that with taxpayers money at stake that there should be slow and deliberate planning but there’s a fine line between slow thoughtful consideration and outright indecision which isn’t fair to the developers involved.
