As a point of clarification, I do not desire that control over development lie at the city level. I would much prefer that control rest with the landowners, developers, and potential buyers and renters.
As wise as councilmembers and neighborhood leaders may be, I believe that market forces, as conveyed by potential buyers and renters, will direct landowners and developers to make decisions that will provide the greatest benefit to the community.
