					<description><![CDATA[Am I missing something?  This looks exactly like all the other mega multi-story over-priced student apartment complexes that have been slapped up around FSU over the past few years, especially the ones that are in Frenchtown now.  What&#039;s the commercial vacancy rate on those facilities?  They all have store frontage on the ground levels.  Smells like gentrification to me and I&#039;ve been told by my Leftist masters that gentrification is inherently racist.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[That&#039;s awful nice of the city to give away our five parcels of land to some cat from Miami.  I pay taxes here and they have never been that nice to me.  

No one that lives in Frenchtown will be living in those residential units. In fact, they may not be able to live in their own homes, because it looks like they are gonna be priced outta the neighborhood judging by the arch&#039;s drawing.  Those &quot;affordable units&quot; will be imminently affordable for a college professor. 

They think we&#039;re all idiots... the CRA is a tax skimming operation designed to fill the pockets of a select group of very corrupt politicians, agency functionaries and corporate lackeys&#039;. Those people are monumental embarrassments to our community. The FBI caught them red handed, every body doing business in this town knows exactly how business was done... and is still done.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[&quot;In addition, the CRA will sell five CRA owned parcels to the developer for $10.&quot;

Ummmm... since it&#039;s the taxpayers who finance this entire boondoggle, why aren&#039;t those same financiers afforded those same real estate opportunities?  

So... $6.5 million dollars for a total of 130 affordable residential units. Good to know our feckless... err, I man fearless leaders care so much about the less fortunate and downtrodden among us... well, at least 130 of them any way.

					<description><![CDATA[Local leftist Democrat elected, appointed, and bureaucrat Nannies are showing their Antebellum roots and heritage prejudice by their inclusion of the word &quot;Quarters&quot; in the naming of the project. 

Historically on the southern plantations the slaves lived apart from their masters palatial plantation estate in an area known as &quot;The Slave Quarters&quot;.

It&#039;s like Mayor Daily telling his house slave &quot;Lizzy just go on down to the slave quarters and bring back old Remus to shine up my boots&quot;. &quot; And Lizzy have him sing that Zipadee Doo Dah song the whole time hes here too&quot;. 

OK this is turn about = fair play because its the kind of crap Democrats always accuse Conservatives of...how does it feel flung back at you local leftist Nannies?]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Wouldn&#039;t making the •MWSBE Participation mandatory be considered Racist?  Personally, I would want the BEST Companies and People on this Project no mater what Race they are.  What would happen if a major Failure of the Building were to happen 10 years later and it is proven to have been caused by what one of your MWSBE Participants cutting corners, will you try to cover it up?]]></description>
