Hereâs an idea for Councilman Dohring and his hotel-pushing comrades: get over your preoccupation and declare Adams Street off the table for hotel development, and then pursue all other options, of which there are many ( Letâs put the puzzle together, May 6).
We just voted on the issue 6 months ago and, again, advised the city we do not want a hotel on Adams Street. Can these people not see how a hotel on that property would be a huge nail in the coffin of our rapidly dying middle class while bowing to the wealthy? Maybe they do see it. Ugh.

We live in troubled times, ones which dwarf the effects of the pandemic. It is the nationâs increasing erosion in the trust of our institutions, our laws, even our history. Half the nation believes the 2016 election was illegitimate, the other half that the 2020 election was stolen, that laws are enforced selectively to reflect the agendas of those in power, even that the Supreme Court lacks legitimacy. The struggle between globalists and nationalists is reflected in border policy, judicial activism, policing and public funding, racial rage, the toppling of statues.
Amazingly, the public longs for unity and consensus and politicians running for office deceptively vow to build it where it is no longer possible.
