I believe that city staff's acceptance of the unrealistically low projected costs submitted for the extensive renovations was a mistake. Allowing this project to move forwards will endanger property values and public safety in our city's prime tourist area, a neighborhood that has experienced a recent surge in both public and private investment.

Furthermore, allowing blighted structures to be completely rebuilt at ground level is completely contrary to the City of Corpus Christi's master plan for the redevelopment of North Beach. In fact it undermines that plan.
