We are now supposed to believe that the SSTDC, and Mills Corp. have downsized
their project from the original 2+ mil. sq.ft. Mall to something less than the
1.6mil sq.ft. of S.S. Plaza. Research even of a cursory nature indicates that
the Mills Corp. builds virtually all of it's malls in the 1.2 to 1.5 mil.sq.ft.
range. Therefore we can assume that all we have seen happen here is the exercise
of a common,and pitifully simplistic, developers ploy ,of building exactly what
you wanted after you have "reduced" the size of your project. Who was that supposed
to fool? The people of the town of Weymouth,unlike their former governing body,will
not be taken in by this pathetic "smoke and mirrors" act. We don't want your
mall!! Whether you build it in sections or not!We don't want your 60,00 cars!
We don't want your road slashing it's way through our neighborhoods, or our
very lives! In short ,the Mills mall project represents nothing less than the
irrevocable destruction of the ways and quality of life we have sought for our
families and children in this OUR hometowns of Weymouth,Abington,Rockland, and
Hingham.
