Why would you be against allowing the County to pay to preserve the submerged property South and East of the Bridge?
That is NOT what I am against. I am against the city giving a 99 year lease. It equates to the same thing as giving them the property including the submerged land...not quite but it just might as well be giving it away.
I am all for our referendum of 2004 on 20 year leases minus one day. The city can structure their leases allowing renewals after 19 years and 364 days. A 99 year lease to anyone is ridiculous and it just shows the city's constant policy of not wanting to take responsibility for anything it owns. It is easier for them to "give it away" so to speak. Out of sight, out of mind. They no longer have to think about it. They should just sell it to the County. How valuable is it?
And I'm totally against them catering to developers all of the time, changing our Charter to accommodate them and not the people who spoke.
It is easy to get referendums passed in this city if you ARE the city.
