Reid Phillips: The case for open spaces
Recently, my neighbors and I were labeled as “NIMBYs” for opposing the rezoning of property at the entrance to our community, New Irving Park in Greensboro. While developers argue that in-fill projects enhance the tax base and maximize land use, I urge you to consider the true cost of sacrificing our green spaces. These areas are vital for our well-being, improving air quality and providing a calming environment. As we face the push for more development, it’s crucial to ask: should every patch of land be built upon? Join me in advocating for the preservation of Greensboro’s green spaces.
