Putting more students in Modular Classrooms

Submitted by Adam Rust on Tue, 05/20/2008 - 11:09am.

The City of Raleigh has an application to change Homestead Mobile Home Park's use from mh and r-4 to mixed use. The rezoning would make way for a redevelopment proposal that would place 1,355 homes off of Capital Boulevard, along with some commercial and retail buildings.

The City of Raleigh projects that the new plan would add 599 students to Fox Road Elementary, Wake Forest Middle, and Wakefield High. The latter two are already populated beyond their capacity. Fox Road, upon the full build out, would be at 120 percent of its capacity.

The greeders are turning North Raleigh into a blight

I'll do just about anything to steer clear of north Raleigh and this news just cements my belief that the place is doomed. It's starting to feel like the north end of Newport News and Hampton, Virginia, which is one of the most unfriendly, creepy, strip-mauled places I've ever seen.

Sad, sad, sad.

And Helms begat Reagan...


Arguably, Ronald Reagan's Helms enabled win in the 1976 NC primary was all the encouragement he needed to try again in 1980, setting the stage for the Reagan Revolution and synergistic escapades like this one...

TrueMeckDem on Myers Park Pat

"My opinion of Pat has changed over the years. I used to think he was truly a man of the people but the longer he has been mayor, the less I think of him.

As with most cities, Charlotte has three political parties: Dem, Rep, and Chamber of Commerce. Pat is definitely the puppet of the COC here. What is good for business is good for Charlotte and Pat ... very personable guy, he has gotten a bunch of Dems in these parts to vote for him but I don't trust him."
