Thoughtful column by John Valdes on overdevelopment

Here, READ JOHN VALDES' views in former Mayor George Gardner's newsletter. JOHN VALDES must fancy that he's still a viable candidate for Commission in 2016. He is now attempting to redeem himself (after sounding like a paid sophomoric sudoric steatopygous strumpet for demolition of Echo House and in support of controversial DAVID BARTON CORNEAL's abortion: converting the DOW MUSEUM OF HISTORIC HOMES into a $500/night hotel). Do we trust JOHN VALDES to be a Commissioner? I don't know. I want to engage him in dialogue and see what he thinks about ethics reforms and other issues first. He sometimes reminds me of what RFK said of Daniel Patrick Moynihan: "He knows all the facts and he's against all the solutions."
