Hello. A few of us just had yet another meeting with Jamil from
Endeavor. He wanted neighbors who had concerns to come out to meet with
him and talk about their concerns, but alas, almost none of them showed
up.
There were only 4 of us there -- 3 of us have met with him repeatedly in
the past, and one new person was there to hear directly from him what
the plan was.
There have been repeated claims made recently that Jamil and Endeavor
have been unreceptive, inflexible, and have "turned a deaf ear" to
neighbors' concerns. This is so untrue, I just can not stand by and let
people continue to make those claims without saying something.
- Jamil has come to 3 neighborhood meetings and one planning team
meeting.
- He has dealt with dozens or possibly hundreds of e-mails and phone
calls from individuals in the neighborhood.
- He and his colleagues have met neighbors informally at coffee shops on
weekends and after hours.
- He organized yet another meeting this morning.
And nobody came.
Specifically the people who (through their e-mails, flyers posted on
people's doors, and their website) have claimed that Endeavor is not
receptive to communication with concerned neighbors.
Those people were not there today.
They may say that this developer has been unreceptive and unwilling to
communicate, but honestly, that's not how I see it. I just had a very
informative 90-minute conversation with Jamil -- it is one of MANY that
I have had with him since July, and everybody has been invited to every
one of those meetings.
Just wanted to get the facts straight.
Thank you.
