While Allen Johnson's column in this morning's News & Record does not directly address the effort to protect Elm-Cornwallis neighborhoods, Johnson's comments reflect the difficulties neighborhoods face when assaulted by developers.
When the City Council debated whether Greensboro citizens deserved to have Protest Petition authority, Mr. Perkins made a statement to the effect that our housing stock was worn and little brick ranch houses were not good for our city. Now Johnson quotes Perkins as calling Protest Petition authority the "The Lawyer Relief Act of 2009." This from an industry well known for its use of lawyers to defeat and frustrate neighborhoods.
Mr. Perkins and his fellow travelers would do well to worry about representing all citizens, not just commercial interests.
By the way, the address listed with the Secretary of State for Cornwallis-Elm LLC (the entity that attempting to encroach on Brown Town) is the same as for Mr. Perkins' NAI Peidmont Triad - 101 West Friendly Ave, Ste. 601, Greensboro.
