Second thoughts about Hillcrest 111 at Seventh and Robinson
Thinkered - The AT&T building is the biggest eyesore and blight in Hillcrest. Just because we made a mistake back in the 70's doesn't mean we should make more mistakes. Tom isn't trying to keep anybody out Hillcrest. He's trying to keep the character of Hillcrest intact so that Hillcrest will continue to be a desirable and attractive place to live. Anybody who can afford to live in Hillcrest can live in Hillcrest. That's just simple economics. If you have a problem with that, your problem isn't with Hillcrest, your problem is with the American way and the free market system.— April 8, 2017 11:34 p.m.
How Hillcrest sidestepped Uptown planners
OMG! Mr Nichols is using "Hilcrest 2.0" as justificaton for his actions. I atteneded those workshops and the consensus couldn't have been clearer: The majority of residents AND business owners wanted 2-3 story development throughout Hillcrest so as to enhance the character of the neighborhood. Over the years, the HBA has pulled out Hillcrest 2.0 and each time the results are changed to suit the desires of a few wealthy land owners and developers. A few years ago, at an Uptown Planners meeting, when caught in the fabrication, the president of the HBA was almost reduced to tears. There were too many people present who knew the truth and they took him to task for altering the results of Hillcrest 2.0. It was hard to watch. I think Mr Nichols needs to find a different way to explain his rabid devotion to a few developers. I just wonder why Hillcrest business owners put up with a representative who advocates against their wishes and at the same time is alienating the residents who make up the bulk of their customers?— July 21, 2016 8:18 p.m.
