Baffling behavior
Victory Development is gobbling up tracts of land. The first rendering they showed the MidCity Neighborhood Organization was for a Neiman Marcus or Macy’s – the next time they showed a plan it was for Target and Bed Bath and Beyond. Why are developers snakes in the grass? I learned at the FSJN meeting tonight that Carrolton’s corridor could have come back already if not for the fact that Victory has its paws on the properties and is driving up real estate prices.
It made me think of the project in Hawaii that my ex-father in law worked on – where they got a cultural protection agreement that stopped the development. Something can be done to stop Victory from doing what the community does not want – but what will make them do what the community does want?
