I renew my call for Werner to list his redevelopment credentials
here.
Degrees held?
Number of redevelopment plans written?
Number of redevelopment projects you've formally been retained in?
Number of redevelopment projects you've completed?
I'm not trying to pick on you Werner, but your posts are repleat
with references to the rest of AP having to agree with you because
this is your field of study and expertise.
If I'm being asked to agree with you on the basis that this is your
field, I'm respectfully requesting some proof that it is your field
before I agree with you.
I think that is a fair request considering your posts.
