Yes is the answer. I support any construction plan that serves to wake up my sleepy neighborhood. That there will be a large shopping center near where I live is good news. It means progress. And where is progress, there is money to make. We have been waiting for a change to come to re-shape our community. The change will soon be here. It is too good to be true.
I have not seen a major change in my neighborhood for years. The streets remain motionless. Most residents are being bored and helpless. The night, it seems to me, falls earlier here than elsewhere. A sense of idleness prevails as if to last forever. Not a few neighbors I know have found it hard to find a job near home. It is no secret that some could not have their ends meet. So, what news is more encouraging than building a large shopping center, here and now?
Benifits are plenty. Even when the construction is just underway, we shall see people coming, including construction workers, and spending money in front of us. Some small service shops and drugstores, closed for years, will open again. Vacant rooms can be rented for bed-and-breakfast. Jobless neighbors are likely to be employed, too. After its inauguration, the shopping mall shall attract shoppers far and near. Our properties will be worth much more. We are going to be better-off.
Most younger neighbors support the building project as I do. Nevertheless, voices to the contrary are heard, apparently from older people making a romantic sense of their regret.
The loss of tranquility they used to enjoy enormously is an intolerable loss, indeed. Such nostalgia shall be overcome through time. A brighter future is on the way.
