You don’t do yourself any favours Manu by referring to those with a differing opinion as idiots - in fact, some may say it’s a “one size fits all” term. 

I would suggest that you may be misinformed, judging by your comments. My interpretation is that those in opposition to the Grey St project are those who have been negatively impacted such as businesses and service providers and their clientele. 

Through proper consultation, most of the issues complained of could have been resolved. 

The other aspect that infuriates people is the state of the roading infrastructure in Gisborne - that, due to lack of funds, is neglected while money is poured into non-essential projects. 

Sometimes it’s better to say nothing than to speak and categorise yourself.
