Paul Skalny made an observation at lunch today that olderfolks (my people) tend to use letters to the editor to publicly share their thoughts andopinions while younger folks (his people) use social media such as Facebook andblogs.
Of course there are no absolutes. There are plenty of older voices on Facebook and the blogs…including yours truly.
That being said, I think in general terms he’s right, particularlyif you consider this letter to editor in Explore Howard, the online successorthe Columbia Flier. Cy Paumier, a former planner for The Rouse Company in thelate 60’s and early 70’s tells the community that the plan he worked on forSymphony Woods “was approved by the Columbia Association andthe Howard County Planning Board in July of 2012.”
CA has now scrapped his plan in favor of a plan devised by Michael McCall, another planner who was influenced by Jim Rouse.
Over in the social media world, Tom Coale, who serves on theColumbia Association Board of Directors representing the Village of Dorsey’sSearch, shared his own view of what was actually approved, writing on his blogthis morning that “the Paumier Plan, asconceived in the public, is not what was accepted by the PlanningBoard. The revised Plan would require meandering paths and betterconnectivity with Merriweather Post pavilion. The Planning Board alsoexpressed a lack of excitement or draw by the Paumier Plan, which is aconceptual defect that cannot be cured by redirected paths.”
I wonder which published view is reaching the larger audience.
