"A senior housing complex that is home to a blind man, a 93-year-old woman and many struggling to make ends meet could be torn down by Phoenix leaders."
More slanted journalism designed to make the reader form a strong opinion in the first sentence. We deserve a news outlet that will tell us what is happening without trying to influence us to choose a side. |
Correct! It's editorializing, not reporting.

What's interesting about this is that no one is mentioning that this apartment building replaced another senior housing complex that was bulldozed in the early '90s to make way for the Burton Barr Library. It would be an especially emotional angle if it turned out someone was forced to relocate twice. I suspect that may not be the case, though. Without trying to be morbid, I suspect that over three decades, most or perhaps all of the residents relocated in the '90s are now deceased.

Plus if this highrise truly is affordable housing, (not $1,800] for a 400 sqf studio) that would give the opportunity for more working folks to live in downtown. And yes, as I read the article again, I can definitely see the slant in the journalism. |

I was just downtown for a meeting, it was quite surprising for some reason to see all of the cranes so spread out. Definitely a high water mark for downtown Phoenix right now, and it's only going to get higher. |
It's like 2006 all over again but this time stuff is actually getting built. Crazy.

It's not like the blind guy or 93 year-old are going to be carrying their furniture down the steps and loading it onto a U-Haul themselves. |
Just a quick tidbit. Noticed a there is a sign now posted next to Knipe House for the 5 floor office development. Grading has been steadily going on for a month now and multiple permits have been filed including a commercial permit on the 10th. This should start moving full-swing relativity soon.

Refresh my memory. Is this going all the way up to Roosevelt or stopping before the green space? Never could quite tell based on the renderings released... |
