Politicians are so seldom guided by common sense that it's worth calling attention to when it happens. Because of community opposition, among other reasons, Fort Wayne officials have withdrawn their support for the $9-million rent-to-own project at Renaissance Pointe:
“Unless there is harmony between the developer and the neighborhood, the city is not in alignment with doing something to the neighborhood,” said Heather R. Presley, housing and neighborhood services deputy director, “We plan with neighborhoods, not for them.”
Wow -- with, not for (and let's not even get into to); what a model of governmental restraint.
