Uncertain COVID-19 Pandemic Financial Times: Real Estate Developers Get Relief

OK. Let's pause and take the time to find out what kind of development - and what certain projects - are critical to the metrics for equitable and inclusive development for both the benefits for the public good and for the profits of private enterprises. Are development services in the City of Mesa ready to listen to other sides of open community discussions, or are they resorting to that generations-old  "Circle-the-Wagons" strategy to protect their own self-interests for more unsustainable development?
We need SMART GROWTH not just "fast growth" to promote the health of not only ("small" ) businesses like real estate developers, but to neighborhoods and districts in the entire City of Mesa
Ask Again:
WHAT KIND OF DEVELOPMENT DO WE WANT?
