I don't live in Carmel, but I do have this comment to make: Carmel's assets don't include attempting to make the place any more Disneyland-like than it already is. I cite as examples the attempt to copy vintage architecture in the City Administration buildings and the attempt to recreate a business district in Budapest. Carmel has many things going for it, but purchasing an expensive, vintage carousel as backdrop for prom photo-ops is not a good use of public funds. Carmel should try to establish its own identity without the help of marketing people. Attempting to make neighborhoods like "Midtown" and "Arts District" seem very phony to me. Low taxes are one asset that is being threatened by all of this.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the shout-out.
ReplyDeleteIt looks the City Council has pushed its vote on approving the bonds beyond its next scheduled meeting, August 21. However, the Carmel Redevelopment Commission is probably going to approve over $400,000 for the interior designer of the luxury hotel itself tomorrow. Even with some slight wins, we are still losing! You can't make this stuff up. I'm not sure if the Council then has to approve that interior design contract before it's effective.
