I’ve been steeped in hundreds of pages of coverage of growth and development in Columbia, MO. The articles I’ve been reading came from the Columbia Missourian and the Columbia Daily Tribune; I read them in chronological order from 2001 to now. I can tell you the names, affiliations and positions of all the key players. I can cite a number of City Council ordinances and infrastructure financing studies. I’ve taken more than 30 pages of notes on my Kindle. But all this knowledge only amounts to an awareness of the events that have transpired in growth and development in Columbia. To feel truly and properly informed, I need to understand what these events mean. But I can’t tell you that at all.
