Something needs to be done to prevent this invasion of oversized buildings that destroy the character or the town we live. This is not about turning the clock back or opposing any construction at any cost. But it is about creating an accountability at the level of people who approve these new constructions to understand and to explain to us whether or not there is a vision of Scarsdale that will emerge after this construction frenzy and importantly what is this vision.
ReplyDeleteI was the author of the comments about the need for improved accountability in the approval process for new and inappropriately large buildings. I would be delighted to contribute in anyway I can for organizing an initiative to secure this objective.
ReplyDeleteVery well said.
ReplyDeleteI have been saying this for years but they keep avoiding the issue. Let us hope the new board of trustees will have the courage to tackle this issue and enlighten us all.
