I was a real estate broker in NYC. I was a member of Community Board 2 participating in the negotiations with City Bank when they wanted to build the tallest building on Long Island as their back office headquarters. Developers of every stripe have one paramount goal, and that is to make a profit for their shareholders. Ballymore is no different. Cooperating with them will be members of the council. To think otherwise is niave and undermines the efforts of the community to control what happens here. Development of Brentford's high street and canal is desirable, but not by a coorporation motivtaed by profit and who's executives, architects and engineers don't live here now or ever will. |
