Question No. 2

The Way We Were: 1951 Coeur d’Alene.

Issue : Moratorium isn’t best step for city
Posted , Coeur d’Alene Press idiotorial. Quote: “A moratorium on all downtown construction could prove lethal to some very positive developments.”

DFO : Now, why would Duane Hagadone’s newspaper advocate for a pellmell rush to throw up buildings downtown, fearmongering that a moratorium would stop progress? It’s not like him to push public officials to make bad decisions (think: Coeur d’Alene Greyhound Track). Editor Mike Patrick earned his meal money today. The city needs a moratorium to consider where it’s going with these high-rises.

Question: Do you support a moratorium on downtown high-rises to give elected officials a chance to hear from the community about them?
