The ‘symbolic ownership’ brought by condos will destroy DIX Park
There is a movement advocated by some rich and powerful people which is very ill-advised. Some people want to put condominiums in Dix Park. The concept of ‘symbolic ownership’ is the reality of people feeling that they own something even if in fact they are only located nearby.

Budget Priorities for Affordable Housing
This budget does NOT adequately provide for affordable housing, despite the $80 million bond. The parks bond is $250 million. Apparently the Dix Park and Smoky Hollow Parks are more important than making sure our residents are properly and affordably housed. The small amount allocated for rehabbing naturally occurring housing is not getting the job done.
