It seems far riskier for the City of Milwaukee continue its long-time disinvestment of many parts of the city.
We cannot just forever funnel endless amounts of tax dollars into sports facilities owned by billionaires, places that most residents cannot even afford to enter. Or invest only in projects located in areas with more affluence.
The gradual rise of Lindsay Heights, where this project is located, has been fostered for decades mostly through the vision and sweat equity of those living and doing business there. Some longtime anchors such as the Fondy Farmers Market have also been key.
Yes, Milwaukee is a Tale of Two Cities. And it’s high time we begin writing a new story–for the good of us all.
Well, Said Virginia!! And thanks to the Council for seeking what can be termed reparation. So much has been taken now it is time to give back. Will success be measured in single bottom line economics or on what seems to be a broader vision of the Good?
