Go move to a city then.  I moved to the suburbs for a reason.[/quote]

and the reason is?[/quote]

Because I like having space and not living on top of people.  [b]Let people who want to live in SFH do that in peace.[/b]  Stop pretending you know what's best for everyone.[/quote]

Nobody is going to take your house away from you. You can stop worrying.[/quote]

No they'll just throw an apartment building up next to me[/quote]

Well, then you will have two choices. Choice 1: stay. Choice 2: sell and move somewhere else. I don't think the county's housing policy should be based on your desire to not live next to a building that has apartments.[/quote]

So they shouldn't solicit input from people who this will impact most?  That's the kind of top down governing I've come to expect from this county.  [/quote]

They literally are soliciting input. The whole ostensible point of this thread is tell people about meetings where they are soliciting input.[/quote]

They're checking off a box before they plow ahead with their plan they came up with in Cities:Skylines.[/quote]

It sounds like you're not complaining about failure to solicit input. You're complaining about anticipated failure to get your way.[/quote]

[b]I'm complaining about their failure to actually listen to input. [/b] Soliciting and listening are two different things.  These neighborhoods work fine as is.  Don't disrupt the lives of middle class families for your urban dystopian fantasies[/quote]

NP. Some people will be for this (I am and this is where I live) and some people will be against it. You not getting your way isn't the same as "not listening to input." [/quote]

Anyone that has paid attention knows that this was pre decided and they have been laying the groundwork for years.  Even the way that these items are studied and approved are compartmentalized so that you never see the big picture, and that keeps residents from aggregating their power.  “Oh, that’s university, not near me…”

The YIMBY cult is worse than Scientology.  At least the Scientologists mostly keep to themselves.[/quote]
