LETTER: City Council must consider locals
Published: Friday, August 2, 2013
Dear Editor:
Is this Tuscaloosa, Alabama, or the University
Alabama? Who’s responsible for providing student housing? The university
or outside developers?
In regard to the plaza on 15th Street
being torn down for the development of a 550-bed apartment complex for
students, what about the task force formed by Mayor Walt Maddox to study
the need for student housing in Tuscaloosa? Greed from outside
developers is taking over the city. If they have good intentions, they
should be concerned with developing affordable housing for the people
displaced by the April 2011 tornadoes and the well-being of all who live
in Tuscaloosa.
What’s going to happen to all the apartments when
student enrollment drops? What about the revenue lost by forcing
businesses out of business? Has the City Council thought of people’s
livelihoods? They are always talking about high unemployment, yet they
are taking away jobs.
Have our council members ever gotten down to
a few dollars and barely had $5.45 left to buy a pizza? Have they ever
had to use a laundromat? Had to use their car title for a little change
at the money store? Have they ever been down and needed some spirits to
have a hallelujah good time? Had computer problems that needed to be
fixed locally? Consider the many senior citizens who enjoy eating at an
affordable diner.
I pray you have peace with the decisions you
have made affecting so many lives. It seems best to give Tuscaloosa to
the university and we can live in treehouses.
