Wow, I was out of town this past week and have finally read all the comments concerning Rouzan along with the ire, ad hominin attacks, let's see what else...casinos, four-laning Lee, among other things.

I do commend everyone's passion concerning Rouzan. I will say though, that JR Ball's assessment is accurate and factual. Baton Rouge is finally growing up, it's about time we have a TND. Unfortunately, the Southside Civic Association (SSCA) only stands for one or two things: A-1 zoning and compliance with the number of people who may live in a home. That's it. They don't care about anything else. Never have. To be on the board, you must think just like they do. You'd never be nominated, much less voted for, if you believed in anything else. The Southside Civic Association should be called the Don't Change Association. Change is bad as far as they're concerned. Thankfully there are intelligent, informed, educated, open-minded people who live in the Southdowns area that are willing to stick their necks out to counter SSCA. I am glad to see there are so many proponents of Rouzan. If you've visited River Ranch, traveled or lived in larger cities in the US and abroad, you'll see what a success TND's are. And Mayor Holden, please take your head out of the sand, this development is good for the city you govern. Don't worry about SSCA, there are alot more people who want Rouzan than those who oppose it.

On What now?

Let's not forget all the subconsultants working with ICF, namely Shaw, who had a considerable role in the Road Home Housing Program.
