Please remember he made these comments 2 years ago and still is. It is all reterick. I hope everybody that goes to the polls on Sept 25th remembers that we can elect new members for a change. And I strongly recommend that all of us look at the Hogan Campaign,(www.votemartyhogan.info) he may not have a lot of money in his warchest but he is an outsider and wants to be elected to serve the people not the special interests. He will bring accountability and honor back to the council. <BR/><BR/>Thank you.<BR/><BR/>A Concerned ResidentAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11031470.post-20911591457819348192007-07-13T15:10:00.000-04:002007-07-13T15:10:00.000-04:00Thank you Sam Yoon for your answer to number one. ...Thank you Sam Yoon for your answer to number one. I and many other Allston/Brighton citizens are in agreement with you. We have experienced the BRA and it's actions that never seem to support what the people want. I'd like to see the Speedway kept for the community. I question the development of "affordable housing" on that spot. The prices never seem to be affordable to those in the community. Before Harvard is allowed any more puchases of "prized property" in Allston and Brighton they should prove they're committed to their previous promises. So far, the people aren't convinced they are.allbriredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10120698009176440231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11031470.post-28039129614029001812007-07-12T22:51:00.000-04:002007-07-12T22:51:00.000-04:00Councilor Sam Yoon say's I will work with my colle...Councilor Sam Yoon say's I will work with my colleagues in government, including the district councilor for Allston and Brighton, to ensure the community and current Charlesview tenants are given a strong voice in any new relocation decisions. Where have you been for the last 2 years <BR/>when the tennants asked for A voice they where just Ignored By the Charlesview Board And Harvard University and all city officals. Oh I forgot The reason you whant to help now is because it is an Election year everyone from city hall will come out of the walls and help now because it is election time. it is to late to help out now because relocation of the new Charlesview is will be at the Brighton Mills Parking lot.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11031470.post-75467199997230000062007-07-11T11:12:00.000-04:002007-07-11T11:12:00.000-04:00I strongly agree with Sam's answers to the survey....I strongly agree with Sam's answers to the survey. Re-development and affordable housing are such major issues in Allston/Brighton, and I appreciate Sam's experience and like that he is about bringing the community and the developer/institution (i.e. Harvard) together in an open dialog. Like his position in the city council among his colleges, Sam has proven that he is about bridge building- rather than "us vs. them" - politics.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
