As long as the city council is stuck figuring out taxing the people of Olympia with free tax base on delivery for developers and redoing Capital Mall removing parking, removing retail putting up 14 story buildings adding 10 times the population but not one more grocery stores, school new sidewalks for NW neighborhoods etc. etc? What a mess. Making the port a place for the people! One that would bring in money enough to build sidewalks and stay with what's right for the city, for Olympia long into 2045. It's never going to happen. They'll never see past their own ludite views. YET with a little VISION the port could be a successful and modern market center. Make the Capital MALL redo low density urban/retail/greenspace to match the neighborhoods that surround it and bring back the thought of USEABLE, PEOPLE CENTERED SPACE and let the Port be done with logging trucks, and outdated industry, loss of the most beautiful piece of property in the city, return it TO THE TAX PAYERS OF OLYMPIA. Tell the city council STOP looking for developer options on parking theory and start thinking about our beautiful city and making it better for ( say it with me now) FOR THE PEOPLE!
