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.
Yes they are suppose to have their own parking that the housing sits on.
Right. It's a 73 unit complex, plus staff, visitors, etc. I highly doubt they have parking to accommodate that.
Sale your house before their start their project
There are millions of people in Western states looking at drought maps and wondering where to go. Minnesota is GREEN, and green means go!
BE PREPARED.
You're giving way too much credit. I like your line of thought, but unfortunately people flock here also for our generous welfare/public assistance and soft on crime policies.
@@R.J.1 All these losers come from Chicago and they bring their criminal family members with them. Like we need more of that element here. We have enough of it already.
@@R.J.1 👍 and that is directly feeding the decline of the state. In 20 years it'll just another St Louis. Even worse as this state has this obsession to dumb the welfare types into nice neighborhoods destroying them.
I am from Minnesota. I know that nearly everyone from outside of Minnesota knows nothing about it, they just think "It's fucking cold!" That's all they know. That's all they think when it comes to "Minnesota."
@@R.J.1 Yeah... cause no one moves for jobs or a place with a different/environment.
Sad that cars control our lives. Literally can’t have decent public transit
They goes the neighborhood
1:00 hmmmmmm is that an apartment building behind him!!?!??!?! guess we have to tear it down now
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.
@@09BiGDylan stop it,,I bet you never even been next to PROJECT,,,so you don't know how they failed. Talking bout the government's fault,,nope,,can't make excuses for the shit we create every time,
I don’t blame these people for not wanting this big and ugly apartment building. I would not want some big ugly apartment building going up in my neighborhood either, along with the criminal element that comes with it.
@@gbozack5935 dawg, you think you need to live next to a project to learn how they failed? You ever hear of the internet?
I guarantee most poor people living next to the projects dont know how the shit failed cause if they did, they wouldn't have let it get that bad in the first place
Tell me where I'm wrong bro instead of saying I don't know what I'm talking about. You're proof they need better education wherever you from brah.. you didn't even know a project was a government funded thing and you want to say I don't know? Lol
@@hollydugal5299 move out of higher population areas if you don't want to deal with buildings taller than average homes, you shouldn't live in the city then.
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.
Get you a used trailer and move out near the landfill and have done with it. You dont have to put up with parking issues. You can show them. Old folks need to live downtown.
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's leftard BS.
@@jimbendtsen8841 explain
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.
Calm down boomer
@@punchypizzainpizza6616 Using "Boomer" as a slur is childish and disgusting -- and also, already outdated (thank you very much, Punchy Punch.) Oh wait, you're a bot right?
What do you mean by character?
this is not an "established single home neighborhood" - person who lives in highland park apartment
@@Anthony-hu3rj ok boomer
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.
We been individualistic since the 1990's and the council has been for itself not the people. The city does have an ordinance as to how tall buildings can be per neighborhood councils and the city. These apartments are for Senior Living not the under 60 people.
I thought we had freedom in this country. Why can't the people who actually DO pay the taxes, have the right to keep their neighborhoods thug free?
@@jimbendtsen8841 you know people who live in apartments are working class people just like the people lucky enough to buy houses before they skyrocketed. This doesn't doesn't change the fact that we don't have enough homes for working people to live.
It's easier to be a judgmental asshole and tear down potential solutions than it is to come up with some. You have nothing to offer but pain and bitterness. Very sad.
Also, it's not a very free country if people get to choose where you get to move for you. Your version of freedom isn't very free.
@@jimbendtsen8841 Exactly!
Who wants an apartment complex?
Yeah right! The developer doesn't give a damn! The neihgborhood is just trying to stop problems before they begin.
What problems
Not in my backyard. Lol.
Presbyterian needs to look elsewhere and leave St. Paul residents neighborhood alone!
These large apartment complexes have destroyed these neighborhoods. It also brings in crime. I’ve witnessed this stuff in my community.
100%
These low income housing complexes bring the criminals of society to your neighborhood.
Truth
Are these low income apartments? It doesn't say that anywhere
@@Tom-cz9op glad you hate poor people so much, you must have been royalty in your past life or you mooch off your family's wealth and status now. Eitherway, id take 1000 poor people if it meant getting rid of 10 of you.
@@09BiGDylan Sometimes they bring in the rich suburban white people so the criminals can rob them.
Nimbys
Zoning is to protect the people who actually DO pay taxes. STFU.
You're just mad you're too poor to have a backyard.
People need to stop breeding like rabbits
You support abortion rights?
