RE: [Mpls] David Brauer's Prodigal House information on Neighborhoodsfighting Supportive Housing

List,

It is statements and mindsets like the one brought forth from Mr. Wilson
that the city counts on.  Why is it so impossible for people to believe the
ordinary citizen?  Has it not been proven time and time again, with examples
mind you, that we citizens get messed over on a constant basis?

I look at the posts of a lot of the list members, and I don't believe
everything I read.  However, a lot of our members bring sound evidence and
advice into our midst, and one cannot help but believe it.  I guess some
folks believe that if it has not happened directly to them it cannot
possibly be true.

Must we be shot in the head with a bullet to know it's deadly effects?

CVI project and any attempt to destabilize the Neighborhood Organization.

 Lighten up a little Jim.  The City may bumble around with development

get pack of bureaucrates and lawyers and gang-audit you.

I'm sure there are a lots of factual information regarding the siting of
the PPL project in the Phillips neighborhood.  But statements such as this
are starting to sound like conspiricy theories.  Like many such theories
there are ample circumstances to connect the dots, but no way to prove
that the lines are true or not.

Lighten up a little Jim.  The City may bumble around with development
projects (and sometimes lose the public interest) but spending time to
undermind the neighborhood group?  If they wanted to do that they would
