That’s crazy.
Of course.
And done in an underhanded way.
If there's no fuckin' houses left there what's the interchange needed for?
"It's a bypass. You've got to build bypasses."
The plans have been on display for ages
"It was in the cellar."
"That's the display department."
"It was on display in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet, stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying 'Beware of the Leopard'."
"It’s not as if it is a particularly nice house anyway."
I live nearby so I can give some perspective . The area is a large sprawl of developments between two of the biggest Cleveland suburbs. The homes that will be demolished near the highway have been there for decades. They have two nearby exits already so it's a mild inconvenience to drive 5 minutes up the road.
Big box stores.
Of course, and they are banking on the voter fatigue from the whole Issue 1 ordeal to give them cover.
Damn, I really hope they don't get it. This whole thing is so fucked.
