      <![CDATA[Just because someone lives adjacent to a development does not mean they are self serving if they choose to object to it. How self serving of you to imply that you are only allowed to object to community changes if you don't live next door.

      <![CDATA[There are additional historical heritage sites in close proximity or adjacent to this park, including:<br>
• The former home of Florence Alberta "Bertie" Clyde (1873 - 1967), one of Charleston's leading African-American educators, located on Smith Street.<br>
• The meeting place for the United Order of Tents, a fraternal organization of women that dates to Civil War times and is run entirely by African-American women, who strive to provide help to those who need it most.<br>
• The home of the oldest continuously chartered Heritage YMCA in the United States and only one of six in the country, the Cannon Street YMCA has provided academic, community based, and sporting programs throughout its 147 years of history, including the famous 1955 Cannon Street YMCA All Stars Little League team.<br>
<br>
I encourage you to walk down Morris Street from King Street and notice the complete Phase 1 project on the south side of the street. Does it seem that the city is on track to recognize the important neighborhood redevelopment goals set forth in the original PUD to “include more affordable housing, improved parks, and playgrounds, and strengthened community institutions”?
