Same goes for commercial. I thought there was a whole lot of talk about lack of commercial zoning. If there is already commercial zoning in HPP, just develop the property and get the local businesses in that the people are asking for. Just like the parks, sounds like a lot of talking about wants and needs but no action to make it happen.
Now, if the real problem is commercial or park development cost, we're back to my question; where is the money coming from? If you want tax payer funding for your private development projects, you have to bow to the king and accept what the king offers. If you don't want to accept the king's terms, you need to reach into your own pockets and pull out your own coins.
