INC NEWS - [pac2] RE: agenda and proposed resolutions for April25 meeting

[Reyn Bowman]

Starting somewhere has merit as clearly do the other postings.   Fact is, scientific public opinion polls of Durham residents show appearance to be a major issue.  They also show that people believe the community wide curb appeal negatively impacts property values and fosters resistance to tax increases to cover those more important issues.

 

My take is....what were are doing definitely isn't working for a variety of reasons.   And we need to give some new initiatives a try....Hats off to INC for giving it consideration.

Absolutely - other issues would really benefit from this energy and benefit Durham more.

i still have to poll the DPNA board on this, so these are my opinions, 
not our official position.

while the language of the current proposal is much less odious than the 
previous proposal, this to me is a much lower priority issue than 
getting the current housing/zoning codes, violations of which are 
reported and repeatedly ignored, enforced in a timely manner. i'd much 
rather see more pressure put on landlords and property managers who 
neglect their properties to start conforming with our existing codes, 
or going after illegal dumpers, than have the police spending their 
time busting a relative handful of people who are soliciting spare 
change on the public right-of-way.

the bang for the buck return on this proposal is going to be relatively 
small.
