Yuck. Something just doesn’t seem right about selling and building to me. I would be more comfortable with a municipal memorial park.
I am not the only one with an opinion, and I certainly do not have a priority opinion, having no relations to any of the victims of this tragedy. In addition, I am not a constituent of any elected official involved in decisions or appointing decision makers. I know that there are good reasons to take the money and help the survivors build back a residence.
I also know that some survivors wanted to build back and move back. I don’t think I would feel that way. But some do. And if the proposed buyer of this property plans to build a new condo tower, part of the deal should be that the survivors get first dibs at a price tied to their share of the purchase price of the land plus typical insurance payouts for their destroyed condo.
MOO about implementing the opinions of others.
