“I have like a mixed emotion on this situation because it can be where if everyone in this neighborhood has an input a word, a choice, a vote, majority rules. But we cannot just let the business man make these decisions. This life that we live is not a business. Life is given to live, not endure.”

“I think part of the problem is intention behind coming into a neighborhood. So if you have the intention of I’m going to refurbish this house because want to move into this neighborhood because I like this neighborhood and I want to be a part of this neighborhood and maybe help this neighborhood to come back, I think that’s a good intention. But if your whole idea is I want to refurbish this house because I want to make some money off of it and then I’m leaving this neighborhood, that’s not good for any neighborhood."
