[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The same people objecting to MM are the people complaining that there aren't enough workers to support their quality of life.

Who is going to commute two hours or more to make your Panera sandwich?[/quote]

yep. and teachers and nurses and long waits in the ER … [/quote]

None of the MM proposal would actually address affordable housing. It’s a handout to developers. [/quote]

Opponents do not support MMH because they believe it would bring in people who are less wealthy who would drive down property values. They would oppose the initiative even if the county limited sales of MM units to people with incomes below a certain threshold.

It’s all about property value and keeping cars off their street. They don’t actually care about trees or infrastructure capacity. [/quote]

So propose something that definitively addresses infrastructure capacity, ensures that the benefits of the regulation adopted accrue to those with that kind of income threshold need or the like, and is presented with thorough considerations of alternatives towards those ends.  See how many fewer objections are raised.

The fact that these initiatives don't do that points either to poor reasoning for the population at large or to well considered reasoning...for developers.[/quote]
