The article describes the proposed

changes to the Lexington Park/Lexington Circle development at Ga. Highway

54 and Walt Banks Road. The article reads that the changes are being sought

to "make the project more economically viable."

The obvious question is: More

economically viable for whom?

I'm to understand that a developer

who has been in business in this area for years just now realized that

they may have underestimated the profit potential of this development?

A development that took years to develop!

As I see it, this is just one

of the more creative ways to get the city to agree to additional housing

that the developer always intended to have. If the front door is closed,

the back door may still be open approach. I find it extremely difficult

to believe that Bob Adams Homes, emphasis on the word "Homes,"

just now realized that they made a mistake in their calculations.

Am I the only city resident

that thinks:

1. Our schools may have too

many students, too few classrooms and not enough teachers to go around?

2. Traffic congestion may be

a problem in our area?

3. We don't have enough police

officers or firefighters to go around now?

If our elected city council

accepts the argument that "making a project more economically viable

for the developer" is justification for this and agrees to these

changes, than I can't wait for the city council to run for reelection.
