BRACK: City must find courage to stem growth of hotels

By Andy Brack, editor and publisher | It’s pretty sad – and kind of amazing – that a 10-year-old can reach a common-sense conclusion that seems to elude a majority of Einstein members of Charleston City Council and its planning commission.

“Daddy, we don’t need any more hotels,” my daughter said while looking recently at the skyline pollution of crane after crane.

No, honey, we don’t. What we need are city leaders who will start listening and thinking about the continuing glut of hotels and what greed to build more will cause down the line.

FEEDBACK: Charleston City Council shouldn’t diminish power of city planning commission

Charles Smith, West Ashley: One of the great legacies left to us by the Riley administration is a highly competent city planning commission comprised of knowledgeable appointees, each of whom brings a valuable skill set to our city’s planning process. This process ensures that any development proposal heard by the city planning commission is thoroughly vetted and that their decisions are as far removed from the political arena as possible.
