The decision about Yard South will soon be in the hands of South Portland City Council, a responsibility that must weigh heavily on the shoulders of all involved. They’ve heard the arguments for and against the project. I’m confident the vast majority of residents do not want Yard South. The few who do are misinformed. Many think this is going to be affordable housing. This is not the case. And the need for new roads, new schools and upgraded public and private town resources will require the raising of taxes, as will the cost to the city for cleanup and repairs from rising sea levels. Those of us who live in Ferry Village love the ease of life here. Please, don’t sell us out. ~ Nancy Wallerstein, South Portland
