If you were asked what lessons you have learned from the Missing Middle, as a mayor and council, I have no idea what you would say. Never mind, here are the lessons for a new mayor and council
November 1, 2022 City Council Meeting
HIGHLIGHTS Many public hearings scheduled for November 15 afternoon meeting despite a question about whether mailed notice would arrive in time and despite Councilor Cox bringing up concerns about it being difficult for members of the public to attend afternoon...
Hollow Excuses for defunding CACs
It infuriates me to continually hear all the BS reasons for getting rid of CACs.
Silencing Raleigh’s Neighborhoods
The council must have a procedure which contains advance public notice, public opportunity to respond, and a required city procedure for neighborhood preservation and respect for existing neighborhood architecture.
David Knight refuses to listen to his constituents
The right to vote and the exercising of that right is an important step in putting the voice of the people back into City government. I just hope that the majority of the electorate exercise that right wisely, choosing a candidate that truly supports all the people all of the time.
Disagreement brings an opportunity for engagement
Disagreement brings an opportunity for engagement. It’s a starting point to understand concerns and share information. You are entitled to your opinions but you are not entitled to dismiss the very people you are meant to represent.
We want more transparency and engagement from this Council
I rely on resources such a Livable Raleigh to help explain to me why you are doing what you are doing because you are not providing that transparency.
David Knight is having a terrible, no good, very bad week.
At the Oct 4, 2022 City Council meeting, several speakers during the Public Comments portion of the meeting called out David Knight for LYING to the public. We are amazed his nose hasn't grown several sizes longer just like Pinocchio! Frank Hielema pointed out...
STOP LYING ABOUT CACs!
I want to clarify some misinformation that continues to be spread, from this council, about CACs and their role in Raleigh’s rezoning process.
David Knight must cease and desist immediately.
At a candidate forum last week, David Knight falsely accused Livable Raleigh of being a Super PAC (Political Action Committee). We’re NOT. We’re a registered 501(c)(4) non-profit organization. PACs are organizations like the “NC Property Rights Fund” and “Triangle Government Alliance” who together supported Knight’s 2019 campaign with spending of nearly $70,000 during an election where Knight got over 70% of his campaign financing from the development industry.
