Also, are we building a city for the future of this region or for the past? The blight of today will turn into the vibrant neighbourhoods of tomorrow. You have a problem with that too? Might as well keep the whole region forested and green so that the local animals will always be at ease.

I’m just touching on your comment about industrial blight. Having been born and raised in Richmond I don’t remember there ever being as much “blight” as there is now, due to the dozens of empty lots waiting to be developed. Obviously this comes along with a city that’s growing. But saying Richmond has gotten rid of a lot of blight is not true
