The Expanding Echo Bay Matrix
Talk of the Sound
by Stephen I. Mayo
Mr. Mayo believes doing nothing would be better than turning over the New Rochelle waterfront site to the "functionally and ethically suspect Forest City organization."
Forest City/Ratner's offer (and that is all it is at this point, an offer) fails on both counts. And I have written here and said on my WVOX radio show "With Mayo" on numerous occasions that it would be better not to develop a plan that only immediately added burdens to public safety and public education resources and did not pay almost immediate dividends to the city, than to build just for the sake of "prettying up" the Sound Shore (or "prettying up" the resumes of the incumbent membership of the New Rochelle City Council). Sometimes indeed, it is better to do nothing than to do "a bad anything."
