In a day and age where gas prices are through the roof, it boggles the mind that there are still people out there that believe that keeping commercial services out of neighborhoods will actually increase their own property values. The reality is that "urban" design and living - which means bringing services into residential communities and allowing the possibility of people to actually walk to them - increases property values. The argument of decreasing property values is tired and antiquated. Someone on this city council surely must have at least an elementary grasp of good planning principles.
Here, here!! Well said.
And one more from the same contributor...

I am amazed by how little anyone in the city seems to know about anything. Bringing commercial services into neighborhoods reduces traffic volumes over time. By learning a little about sustainable and just common sense planning, the citizens of this community would be able to do wonders for themselves and stop this incessant bickering between parties that argue over points irrelevant to the bigger picture.
Winner!!
