I wish I had something fully formed for you this morning. I don’t.
But I do have a question, for those of you who are Columbia-minded. How long has it been the fashion to distrust and decry the actions of the Columbia Association? Surely it can’t always have been like this. It seems unlikely to me that it has been adversarial from the beginning.
The recent attempt to change CA’s status from an HOA to a Community Benefit Association stirred up that old familiar song.
We can’t trust CA.
You have to watch them every minute.
They’re trying to pull a fast one.
And much, much more.
Another social media disturbance centers around certain statues at the Lakefront which will be put in storage while construction is going on. People are quite heated on this topic as well. Never mind that CA has a proven track record in caring for and returning public art. For some reason that doesn’t factor in to the public response.
Correction: H/T to reader Debbie Nix who pointed out that it is the Howard Hughes corporation, not CA, that will be storing these particular statues.
My apologies.
At any rate, at what point did the Columbia Association morph from “our association “ to “our hated overlords”? And can anything be done to change that?
I think we really must address this because, were I a new or potential Columbia resident, I would want nothing to do with being involved in the community based on the way people berate CA. Scaring people off before they even begin is hardly a Columbia core value.
