[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I cannot believe people voted for this and don't see Wilson for who he is (someone waiting for Beyer to retire so he can run for Congress).

This entire proposal BS was pushed as an answer to workforce and affordable housing. Only recently have the proponents pivoted with their win-win-win stance. Upzoning and adding ADUs to everyone's yard will not decrease housing costs and increase the supply of affordable housing. You know it, I know it, and to argue otherwise is so disingenuous. Just admit and be upfront with what you are.

I own a triple lot. We will probably sell within the next 5 years once the kids graduate from college. For the last 18 months I have been bombarded with texts, letters and calls asking me if I am interested in selling, all from developers. [/quote]

People didn’t vote for this and I’ve heard from two people on council that most of those writing are not in favor. Especially those who actually live there and wrote.

This is why the vote has to happen now. So we can’t vote on it. Wilson, Gaskins and McPike do not want to hear your opinions. They do not want you to vote on this. That’s why it’s bundled and rushed (yes, it is rushed, they moved up the time line). Gaskins and Wilson are using this to move on to higher office.   [/quote]
