More on Nobscot zoning map change

 There are 18 parcels identified in the letter to Phil O from the lawyer representing Steven Cucinatti a real estate professional from Boston under a company called J and Company, who just happened to donate 1000 dollars to Charlie's campaign account in March, even though there is no mayoral election. Not surprising is the amount of out-of-town realtors and developers also contributing to Charlie's campaign account. 

Now I'm not accusing anyone of anything but it does seem like Framingham has drawn the attention of "real estate professionals" who seem to be willing to throw cash at Charlie for changing our zoning regs to fit the developers needs. You can see who else gave money to Charlie this year, from the campaign finance web site at the right upper main page of this site. Just punch in Charlies name under candidates section. 

More than half of the plots are owned by individuals along Edmonds and 3 parcels are owned by Northside Reality, Edgell Reality and Joan Paradis Nobscot Reality. The question i have is, what do those private owners think about the proposed zoning change from B4 to mixed use? Are all of them willing to sell their property to this bully from Boston? 

We don't even know the full impact of the Nobscot village apartments yet as they seem to be dragging thier feet. And now with the interest rate going highrer than the past three years and the price of building materals at an all time high, the rents they will have to charge will prohibit much of the working class people to afford such high rents. 

All of this is heading for the PB and ZBA. The only way to stop this invasion will be for the locals to mount a serious campaign against this potential project.
