Apology due

In response to Ryan Zinke’s column (Whitefish Pilot, Nov. 28), I live on U.S. 93 West just beyond the city limits. As a matter of course, I walk into town on a regular basis along West Second Street. I don’t see any dilapidated houses except for the ones across the street from his family home. With all due respect to Mr. Zinke and his plans, I think an apology is due to those of us who maintain our homes along this thoroughfare.
