He isn’t accepting a raise, what more do you expect from him?
Even after reading the entire article, does anyone know what Nelson Wolff means by the following statement?
“It’s a major issue, and one that we’re using what limited tools we have to address,” Bexar County Judge Nelson Wolff said.
Does he mean that the county can’t control development so there’s really no way to stop it? If so, does that mean he would support stronger authority for counties over development?
Or does he mean that a public improvement district is the limited tool we have available and should use it? I don’t know exactly how these work but I would think that it would mean that the property owners in the area served by the improvement would pay an assessment for the improvement. I guess that’s one way to keep the county tax rate low.
So much for integrated planning. I’m not talking about some 20 year development growth plan with corresponding zoning that wouldn’t have a snowball’s chance in hell at being implemented in San Antonio. I’m talking about some common sense planning that says if we build a bunch of roads that connect only to 1604 and not to each other, the residents outside the improvement zone are going to be affected sooner or later since you have to get on to 1604 to get anywhere.
He probably meant that he really doesn’t want to provide a meaningful answer since it could be used against him in an upcoming congressional campaign. Maybe he and Diane Cibrian could discuss coordinating traffic lights to reduce congestion.
