With 12 newly abandoned strip centers, it would be interesting to hear some opinions from the moratorium supporters on the council.

The Council (moratorium supporters, builders lobbyists' et.al.) don't care about abandoned strip centers.  Their bread is buttered in new development.  They would prefer to build new strip malls in greenfields.  And they would prefer not to pay fees in order to do that.

Well, obviously. But it's nice to have it on record.
