The community needs a legally binding agreement committing to this land for the community. Community member Symone Walters see the vision of this space as critical to the future of #janefinch
1) I love trees. I’ll say it. I love running on trails, walking the dog, biking with the kids. Nature good. There is a lot of talk in town lately about trees. A lot of side-taking (as if anyone is anti-tree??). What is getting lost in this is the bigger, more complex picture.
2) It’s easy to frame this as good people v. evil, greedy developers – that’s so easy. Which side would you be on? But the real story is far more complex. And it’s a story about equity, and diversity, and affordability. Issues pro-tree people also care deeply about.
3) But no one’s really talking about that part. So, here goes… Chapel Hill has had a rural buffer in place since the late ‘80s. This means that there is a circle around the edge of town beyond which we have agreed not to develop.
