I’m the only person on my street actually in favor of the proposed multi-use housing/shopping complex a developer wants to build a block over from us. I can’t change the minds of all these old people. I’m pretty sure we’re just fucked until they all move out or pass on.
I heard some pushback on a plan for a mixed use development in an abandoned office park. The person had zero to do with the property, lived in a completely different area. But didn’t want it because “traffic”. Like pushing those potential residents to live further away was somehow more beneficial for traffic than putting them close to it.
Why are you in favor of it? They wanted to build one near me, and I think it would bring more people and more traffic into an otherwise quiet neighborhood. I think it would also take away part of the exclusivity of the neighborhood, and lower property values (or otherwise make them grow more slowly)
Multi use land developments increase property values, and I would love to have some shops that I can walk to. Fuck suburbs. Fuck excluding people. I want housing density and actually walkable neighborhoods. YIMBY. Thanks.

We can just start our own municipalities somewhere. Where is the biggest question
With blackjack and hookers!
