    Don’t they have to have their own parking lot? Shouldn’t the city council look at that? When we built our house, we had to put in a garage and driveway to park our cars. Yes, we can use the street, but we must have parking on our lot, not depend on street parking.

      Right. It's a 73 unit complex, plus staff, visitors, etc. I highly doubt they have parking to accommodate that.

    I'm not sure why they won't just say the real reason, it's just like some buildings they built back in the early 60s or seventies or whatever in Chicago, and they called it a project, and now today we know what projects are or what they become, these people don't want that in their neighborhood, and I don't blame them because I too know what becomes of a project, they become come projects

      this is literally not a project though. project is short for "government project" which is a large reason for why they failed. as far as I know, this is a private company trying to build apartments. that's completely different than a government project. stop trying to scare people with lies.
      I won't get into the fact for why those projects failed. it has alot to do with [lack] of government funding and racism.

      I understand why they feel that way but it's completely selfish. They got there's so fuck everyone else who needs a home. It's not even like they trying to build a homeless shelter, they are trying to build housing people will pay for.
      Honestly bro, we know why you're against it, you don't like poor people. I sure hope you ain't Christian cause you going straight to hell for that. You can make a better world if you literally won't build houses for people.
      Whats the solution my dude? Homeless encampments the woods?
      Also, apartment buildings don't bring crime by default so you need to stop repeating that silly line Holly. Homes are ridiculously prices because people like these don't want anyone to build new housing. They are apart of the problem. Looks like you are too. I would be careful if I were these folks though.

    I don't have the answers, at all. But if you look at Barcelona, for instance, on Google Maps, you'll be shocked (and delighted!) by the sheer number of 5-6 story buildings that people live in -- all (or most) with small balconies. Barcelona is a beautiful, modern, ancient, progressive, educated city. America is SO FAR BEHIND!

    That is a horrible thing to do to an established single home neighborhood. Such a large apartment building will change the character of the neighborhood greatly. The city council should listen to the people who live there- but they seldom do. Kudos to those people standing up together against the developer's greed and government madness.

    I thought we had freedom in this country? why can you control where other people build things?
    if you want to know why housing sucks so bad in this country, you can easily point your finger at these home owning folks who literally fight any proposal to help get more housing in an area. The kicker? The benefit from limited housing because it causes prices to go up and the guy even said it himself.
    Jesus, it's sad. We've gotten so indivudalistic as a country people are completely okay with people not having houses to live or move into. Ultimately I'd like to see single family homes for everyone but since that's not possible we need apartments and condos.
