The City of Lakewood, Colorado has approved a city-wide upzoning scheme largely in response to the influence of private equity developers and the ‘redress’ movement as described at their website redressmovement.org.
Redress posted an article titled: ‘A Step Closer to Ending Segregation Zoning in Lakewood, CO’
Struggling social media site Nextdoor published and raved about these 13 recent posts on their site. They described the author as a ‘trusted neighbor’ who was ‘making a difference in the neighborhood’! They also repeatedly encouraged the author to keep posting and asked ‘What will you share next?’ and displayed a large button to create a new post.
Then suddenly, the exact same posts that neighbors were ‘really interested in’ were banned with no notice and no warning as being SPAM even though Nextdoor had repeatedly encouraged the author to post such content on their site.
From savebelmarpark.com Greetings Supporters of Save Belmar Park, The Kairoi Belmar project is moving forward with no active citizen objections. Will this rogue demolition mess be a wake-up call? The top image is 777 S Yarrow Street in Lakewood, CO after 24 hours of demolition. The Demolition Permit was approved on March 12 by Lakewood so the city is fully aware of what is happening. However, the contractor has not installed any erosion control devices, silt fence, etc. as required by the Kimley-Horn specifications shown in the second image above. They began demolition on March 13 in violation of their own established Sequence Of Construction Activities as specified by Kimley-Horn engineers. We assume this is OK with the city manager and city council because the city would have approved everything at the REQUIRED MEETING before demolition begins as stated on page 11 of the Erosion and Sediment Control Report : Read the full Savebelmarpark email from the source
