Frank Blake is quite wrong (Letters, April 4). By stating: "No doubt money will win and ordinary people will lose out once again", he utterly misrepresents the opportunities contained within this project.
The people he calls "ordinary" are the very people who will benefit most from the development.
Nurses, council workers and office cleaners are just some of the people who will have 282 affordable new homes to move into.
They will also have superb sports facilities, a new police station, shops, accessible public space and a rapid transport system. I could go on. Let's not forget the "ordinary" people will not even have to pay for this through increased council tax.
And those who criticise Mr Arghiros, the developer, shame this city. That a man from Brighton and Hove should present a scheme which will invest £270m here and work closely with local institutions to ensure maximum employment creation and myriad other benefits, should be a source of celebration.
Someone with his vision, passion and dogged determination would be a hero in any other world-class city.
