Everyone keeps harping on changing Cedar Crest and Forest Lake. The Highlands lost 90% of their trees and many homes were damaged severely. Why no talk of rebuilding the Highlands, and maybe putting a new public park there? Its a great central location. Or ... thru eminent domain, the land could be purchased and a new Amtrak station built there. Its already adjacent to the tracks, and nearby the University. Great location. Bottom line .... why are the poorest neighborhoods being singled out for all this redesign? How many upper scale neighborhoods are willing to follow suit with their own ideas? Why must the poor always have to shoulder the burden of change for all else to enjoy? Its a sad situation we have here. :( .
