Lessons from Issue 2
Nov. 8, 2004Last Tuesday, Athens voters handily struck down the proposed moratorium on new building in the city limits. They were wise to do so because the ban was far too broad. By banning most development on undeveloped land for the next 18 months, the proposed moratorium was too overreaching in its scope. But it should serve as a wake-up call to City Council that more than 2,000 Athens residents are upset about the way the city is developing. If those in charge of planning Athens' growth do not take heed of this faction and think about where the city is headed, the low amount of support for something as drastic as the moratorium will increase if proposed again.
