Centex Homes wrong about wall threat
The day after a large retaining wall collapsed at The Hills of Rivermist in San Antonio, Centex Homes held a private meeting with residents. Outsiders, including city officials, weren�t invited.
We received a video of the entire meeting, which shows Centex claimed that the neighborhood was safe because city firefighters were leaving.
That was news to city officials:
�That�s a pretty bold statement for them to make,� Assistant City Manager Erik Walsh wrote colleagues at City Hall on Jan. 25 in an e-mail. Walsh pointed out that Centex was actually hiring off-duty technical rescue firefighters to stand by at the scene.
In addition to the video of the meeting, our story today offers links to city e-mails discussing the retaining wall collapse and Centex�s safety claims.
