But really just political posturing bordering on farcical. The mayor takes issue with DCSD building an urban elementary school making it sound like the mayor has a real commitment to safety of the folks living in this city. And why is urbanity the most wonderful thing to grace city hall when it comes to "renewal" and adding intense density destroying our suburban lifestyle, but when our school system needs to add capacity to address the consequences of this out of control development, urban is a four letter word? Is there a developer waiting in the wings with eyes on that property? It cannot be because school system ownership takes it off the tax rolls because that is exactly what the city does for any developer.
So why all the lip flapping? Is there any room she is in that really needs more hot air? Maybe the mayor thinks this looks like sincere concern and the fact that is completely outside the purview of the mayor, and in fact the entire city, there is bullet-proof political cover. How can you fail when it isn't any of your business?
Anyone living in Dunwoody knows there is zero concern about safety or any other quality of life issue in our neighborhoods. Neither the mayor nor any of the other dwarfs care about speeders ripping through our school zones or truckers arrogantly, frequently violating No Truck zones which are also school zones. If they cared, even a little bit, they would lay down the law. They would tell the city manager to enforce our city ordinances, to enforce our traffic laws or pack his bags and get the hell out of Dodge.
And they'd quit shadow boxing with non-existent opponents.
