[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here's a hint for all your NIMBYs: if you don't like apartments, don't live in them. Radical idea! And spend some of your energy on something more productive than hand-wringing about how some people want to live in something other than some ugly SFH.[/quote]

Don't like the changes we impose upon you?  Move, then!

It's a light version of ethnic cleansing. [/quote]

I’d say that it’s more of an ideological colonialism.  They don’t like how people have chosen to live so they will decide to change it for us, current residents be damned.[/quote]

It would be a very rare person that lives in that zone that chose to make that development some 60 years ago.[/quote]

Does the coming gentrification give you just an intellectual thrill or is there a physical excitement to it?[/quote]

Is it coming gentrification, or coming slums? Pick one and stick with it.[/quote]

DP, but it’s probably going to be neither because there’s a lot of other undeveloped land in this area with more profit potential. It will be a long time before developers work through those plots and this corridor is redeveloped in a major way, especially absent ultra-low interest rates or a massive turnaround in the county’s labor market. This isn’t something that developers with the capability to deliver a lot of units are asking for. It’s desperation from a planning department whose plans have failed to deliver what they’ve promised. [/quote]

So, basically nothing is going to happen as a result of the University Boulevard corridor plan? Everything will basically stay the same as it is right now? Okay, then.[/quote]
