Kingsdale survey results are in!
The interest level in Kingsdale redevelopment remains high ---- even during a presidential election year. And that generated lots of responses and comments to our Kingsdale survey. Here's one example:
"The key to Kingsdale's future was (and is) removing an absentee, out-of-town, property owner. Congratulations to the Administration for making this happen. Amen. Let's get on with it... "
The survey responses and comments are now posted on the survey results page.
Most respondents are cautiously optimistic about the prospects the new proposal offers. Here's a typical response:
"I am thrilled that there will be a local owner/developer for Kingsdale...and Continental is a quality firm that is mindful of each unique project in gets involved in to assure it maintains the integrity of its surroundings. This is great news for UA.. I'll be keeping tabs...with great interest...to see how this moves forward. As we all know...."the devil's in the details!"
It's a little difficult to respond to your last question above since we're not completely sure what the detailed development proposal is at this point. Both the news release and article provided general information on the redevelopment proposal."
The survey was sent to members of a Kingsdale email list as well as to the UAPA member newsletter list. The Kingsdale mailing list provided the majority of responses and has citizens from all backgrounds and political persuasions --- anyone with an interest in Kingsdale redevelopment.

Quote of the day
"While I regret this development, I am not in mourning, for I no longer have any clear idea what, exactly, the modern conservative movement stands for," Buckley wrote.
"Eight years of 'conservative' government has brought us a doubled national debt, ruinous expansion of entitlement programs, bridges to nowhere, poster boy Jack Abramoff and an ill-premised, ill-waged war conducted by politicians of breathtaking arrogance. As a sideshow, it brought us a truly obscene attempt at federal intervention in the Terry Schiavo case"
--- Christopher Buckley, the son of conservative icon William F. Buckley, resigned from the conservative National Review days after endorsing Barack Obama's White House bid. The resignation comes four days after Buckley formally endorsed Obama on the Web site The Daily Beast, writing the presidential campaign had made John McCain "inauthentic," and Obama appeared to have a "first-class temperament and first-class intellect."
