[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wisconsin - Friendship to Gtown is going to be a mess with the Fannie Mae and then Mazza development.  Tons of congestion and pollution.   With those two massive build ups - no need for anything additional - no need to mess with the SFH Zoning.[/quote]

No need for anything additional what? Duplexes shouldn't be allowed in that area (not required, just allowed) because why?[/quote]

Because I do not want to live next to a duplex in my SFH neighborhood.  And, if they are built, I leave town. And guess what.  Driving out the top 5% of income generators will destroy the tax base.  And they want to live in SFH in SFH neigborhoods[/quote]

 And why no duplexes?  Have you been on 36th and Calvert to the hospital?   I see lots of tear downs and larger expensive homes being built.  And next to some of those?  Duplexes that appear to be rentals - not taken care of by whomever is occupying them.  Soon, no doubt to be tear down/build ups.  My point?  Money talks - BS walks.  As long as there is a demand for expensive homes in Ward 3 - there is no incentive to pack more people in at a discount rate.  [/quote]
