The EVIDENCE from the OFFICIAL and TRUTHFUL sources (deed transfers and GCAR), are showing that Schenectady CITY is seeing roughly 75 new listings of houses put up for sale every month.
But McC and his team can't even get two dozen closings to occur each month.
And the sales prices are NOT going up!
GCAR has it's new report available, and if you compare month to month (some people know how to keep this info on file), Mc'C's program is NOT working.
More PROOF POSITIVE, there is NO RENAISSANCE.
Bad news, yes, but the bad news MUST be made known and the dems need to learn that they MUST stop lavishing everything on downtown because people are NOT moving INTO the city. DV won't even touch the city with a ten-foot pole.
In order for a renaissance to start, the dems MUST take away ALL tax exemptions on downtown properties, they MUST make Proctors--which CLEARLY is a "for profit" business--pay taxes, they MUST lower the taxes on the homeowners.
Optimists close their eyes and pretend problems are non existent. Better to have open eyes, see the truths, acknowledge the negatives, and speak up for the people rather than the politicos and their rich cronies.

Isn't it the State & Feds that decides who gets Tax Exempt Status? (501(c)3 Corporation)
?
Though, I do thoroughly agree with your post - something needs to be done.

God bless the Mayor and City Council as they navigate the treacherous waters on behalf of our taxpayers -- the waters are indeed filled with bloodthirsty nayboobs who want to BASH our City!

God bless the Mayor and City Council ..... on behalf of our taxpayers --
Here's one of DV's getting his jollies using an imaginary friend. Do you have the GUTS to respond?
Can you tell us how hiking taxes on the financially struggling homeowners taxpayer is working "on behalf of the taxpayers" ????
Can you tell how causing homeowners to lose their homes because they can't afford to pay the taxes of the downtown millionaires is proof that the mayor and council are working on behalf of of the taxpayers?
Can you tell us how actions taken by the mayor that have been causing peoples home values to plummet drastically is an indicator that the mayor doing good by them?
Well?
Of course, no answer because you have NO GUTS, NO BALLS, YOU ARE A BIG (in more ways than one) CHICKEN.

No, we do not want to "bash" the city. We want the TRUTHS to be told to all the HOMEOWNERS so that they can intelligently vote in future elections, knowing full well that they are footing the bill for the millionaires and politically connected while they themselves as homeowners are struggling financially.
In order for the city to improve, the secrets must come out so that HOMEOWNERS and residents can vote intlligently for leaders who will work to improve things for the HOMEOWNERS instead of working for the milllionaires and politically connected.
So, I've been waiting for you to provide proof of the renaissance. And you won't respond with any proof because there is none.
You don't have the GUTS, you don't have the BALLS to provide even one teeny weeny shred of proof that the tens and tens of MILLIONS of TAXPAYER dollars have resulted anything better for the HOMEOWNERS aka the taxpayers In the NEIGHBORHOODS in the city!

Is it paying almost the HIGHEST TAXES in the whole country?
Is it having THE HIGHEST unemployment rate?
Is it having THE HIGHEST crime rate
Well? What is it?
Of course, TOO CHICKEN TO RESPOND.

It is the Mayor from Red Dawn and his cohorts making sure the SI are happy!
