On Tuesday the plague that is known as the Madison-Park North housing project became much closer to finally being eradicated. After many years of torturing the good residents of Reservoir Hill our politicians have finally stepped up and put the pressure on the owner of this blight on society. The owner was given many opportunities to “make things right” but she did not and now she is about to be rightfully punished (although she will be able to sell the valuable land for millions of dollars). The Sun covers the full story here and provides an official list of complaints about the project (a copy of the revocation letter) here. You can read some of my past article that mention the housing project here and here.
The legendary Howard Fink recorded the press conference in the name of posterity and you can see all of our politicians ripping on the decrepit facility below:
