…the members of One Hill would be out there with shovels helping the bulldozers.
I just don’t understand what the desire is to have all this shit just given to the Hill District. I drove through there the other day because of construction (big fucking surprise) going into Oakland on Forbes, and I counted 3 boarded up storefronts in 3 blocks that looked like they were supermarkets at one point.
What have the members of the Hill District done to clean up their neighborhood and prove that these jobs and this new supermarket won’t be doomed like every other business in the area?
It seems like the members of the Hill District are still mad that they had the neighborhood tore down for Mellon Arena building. In the tune of Sharpton/Jackson “The Hill is still oppressed from the destruction of their neighborhood in 1962.” AKA we don’t want to be responsible for our neighborhood so give us help.
