Reply to 295j experiences? by dreamcicle11

My wife, son, and I are moving to 295J in May. Moving from Newport. If you see a guy wearing a New York Red Bulls jacket everyday, come say hi.

Criticizing a company is not abusive, and in the context of doing what’s right, I care way more about who is actually advocating for the best things and not their way of conveying the info

If it were an honest mistake they would cancel the event, which they aren’t, which is why people are being mean to them. Because they are clearly lying about actually caring if they aren’t willing to cancel the event

Almost the entire list of points was, "price tag, lobbying, funding, remediation."

With price, lobbying and funding being for the remediation.

My one line addresses most all of them by pointing out a big reason it was so difficult to get funding for remediation is Friends of LSP lobbying against it because it has almost always come in the context of them getting ball fields.

You may think that they were correct, because of environmental concerns, or just different priorities.That's OK.

It doesn't change that a lot of people want the recreation and access that was originally in the plan, and it is not surprising that development interests would capitalize on the complete lack of anything being done for 45 years.

I actually agree. What I could use a whole lot less of is the insulation that they are up to something nefarious.

You can buy, or not buy, whatever products you want and advocate for others to make the same choice. That's how our system works.

You can also do it without being abusive dicks to a company that seems to have made an honest mistake.

Hmm

  • cherry picks one line from response
  • and in response to maybe considering the complexity of things and admitting to what you don’t understand
  • doesn’t consider the possible environmental impact of a sports field vs a marsh, how that may have influenced FoLSP’s POV or other contributing factors
  • no response to anything else

“Actual discussion”
