Time to get political: the last rounds of comprehensive planning were pretty well DOA due to actions of the Fargo School Board within weeks of the approval of the plans. And no--I do not work for the planning department. First with Bennett, then Kennedy, & now with Davies, the actions of the school board have probably promoted more sprawl than any developer or builder. If we think that greater density is a good thing, if we feel that strenthening the City's core is a positive move, if we think that it's ridiculous to have 100K population stretched out over 20 miles from NE to SW, then there has to be some enforcement authority to go along with the planning effort in order to get the school board to go along and "play well with others."
