I don't know. It feels like a fight between greedy developers and selfish NIMBYs, and I don't like either. I'm leaning towards yes, because it's new multi family housing and mixed use, which are things we need, but I'm not sure.

Also, I live outside the city limits, so I don't know if I'll even get to vote on it.

You will not. City residents only.

I'm with you, developer sucks, nimbys suck.

Only reason I'm voting for it is because it's progress I want to see happen. I wasn't in favor when they wanted to tear the old buildings down, but now that they're saving them, it's a WAY better option than someone coming in 10 years and demoing the buildings because they can (cough cough University Heights) and have the right to.

It's funny how against it everyone is when the most adamant and vocal opponent is the 'about faces' compound on the hill 2 properties over. Somehow they were able to build a commercial property with a parking lot years ago, but fucking pull the ladder up when you're done, no one else gets to!
