The NSW Planning Minister’s intervention in the plans to redevelop the first section of the Waterloo public housing estate at South Waterloo, may mean less towers and better amenity, but this outcome is still an unacceptable destruction of our public housing and sell off of our public land for profit, according to Greens spokesperson for Housing and Homelessness and Member for Newtown, Jenny Leong MP.
“This site is currently 100% publicly owned homes and yet this plan will see all the current occupants displaced while the redevelopment occurs – and by the time it’s done önly 27% of the site will be social housing – that’s more than 60% turned over to the private housing market in a shameful government sell off to property developers.
And right now, during a pandemic and all of the economic challenges that come with it, might seem like bad timing.
Thousands of central Ohio residents and business owners are struggling to maintain home and health in this difficult time.
And that’s actually part of the reason for Mid-Ohio Food Collective’s potentially game-changing ask.
“The need is now,” Steve Steinour, Huntington Bank’s chairman, president and
chief executive officer told the Dispatch Editorial Board.
He is right.
Hunger cannot wait, and neither can efforts to combat it.
The need has been described in scores of Columbus Dispatch articles over the years and a recent CBS “60 Minutes” segment showcasing the impact of COVID-19 on Columbus.
