My wife and I recently moved to Fresno. We chose to be here to start our careers even though we could have moved to a number of other places.
Frankly, I'm tired of hearing about all the mistakes Fresno has made in the past. The Met, Granite Park and the stadium may have been bad ideas, but they're not the major source of the city's problems -- it's the recession, coupled with expenses that went up at the same time. The City Council passed ordinances to prevent problems like the Met and Granite Park from happening again, and the voters even changed the City's Charter to make sure future City Councils don't go back on these ordinances.
We must stop picking at the scabs of the past and figure out what's practical and common sense today for our community. And we must make sure that City Hall has the discipline to stick with these rules moving forward so we don't repeat our mistakes.
