[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

[b]More or less, yes.[/b] How long will we keep putting stock in planning before they need to deliver some results?[/quote]

Good news. Everyone who is panicking can stop panicking.[/quote]

If you think this is a good outcome and that planning is doing good work the. you’re a NIMBY. MoCo needs to grow. [/quote]

Yes, that is the purpose of the University Boulevard Corridor plan. It's also what the people who are fearmongering misinformation about the University Boulevard Corridor plan are opposed to.[/quote]

There’s no world in which this idea results in enough housing to affect prices. It’s more performative nonsense from a planning department that hasn't had a good new idea in two decades. [/quote]

If it did we’d see projections and metrics.  If we hold out long enough maybe someone will distract them with the next shiny thing.  Let us all remember that this voodoo is based on the construction of a bus system.[/quote]
