Public hearing rezoning

Began commenting on downtown improvements but was redirected to the rezoning topic and yielded his time.

Commented on the area with difficulty being heard; expressed concerns about the neighborhood.

Opposed the rezoning, questioned land bank pricing and track record, and invoked the history of urban renewal.

Asked whether the parcels came from illegal foreclosures, called the land bank untrustworthy, and warned about tax breaks and gentrification.
