"Eastside's Zoning is Obsolete before it became Law"

I had a very good conversation with Rey DeCarlo City zoning.  Rey is probably the only qualified zoning individual in Youngstown.

YSU's Center for Urban Studies and the City of Youngstown back in 2000, wrestled with how to correct the zoning for the Eastside of Youngstown.  Youngstown 2010, the MVOC, and now the YNDC, were on a mission to rezone the Eastside for the betterment of the community.  Apparently, that mission became lukewarm as the massive problems of correcting Youngstown's spiral into third world status continued.
Today, Youngstown's new zoning is in place and one only needs to go online to pour thru the study.  Our company representing the largest private landowners in the City of Youngstown, after reviewing the zoning map on the Eastside, have immediately noticed that once again, the zoning is OBSOLETE.
A significant amount of the Eastside is zoned now for residential.....and get this, multi-family residental.  Proof of how inept this new code is, is consider how recently, our unqualified Planning head honcho (D'Avignon) has been boasting now, and all these years about returning land to acreage and green space.  And then he oversaw this new zoning as if SUBURBIA is rushing to return , NO, it never was on the Eastside. 
Let me try to help the City since I know the Eastside.  Residential will only work in portional enclaves and what remains of them is in clusters and is decreasing as more houses are abandoned everyday. The Eastside of Youngstown is in close proximity to the industrial trunk line now of the New Middletown multimillion dollar cryogenics plant and alongside the massive pipeline going north to Mercer county and Lake Erie.  Land along this pipeline is now very valuable because unlike rural land, it has INFRASTRUCTURE, UTILITIES.  Light industrial entities that compliment the energy infrastructure, is now gravitating to the Eastside of Youngstown, namely the Sharon line.  Will Youngstown allow itself to be Braindead and let this new industry be absorbed by Hubbard?   The Sharon Line now , TODAY, should change it's zoning to INDUSTRIAL.
