Don't like the changes we impose upon you? Move, then!
It's a light version of ethnic cleansing.
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.
It would be a very rare person that lives in that zone that chose to make that development some 60 years ago.
Does the coming gentrification give you just an intellectual thrill or is there a physical excitement to it?
Is it coming gentrification, or coming slums? Pick one and stick with it.
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.
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.
More or less, yes. How long will we keep putting stock in planning before they need to deliver some results?
Good news. Everyone who is panicking can stop panicking.

If you don’t like SFH areas, simply find somewhere else to be an aspiring rental unit slumlord. Buy a properly zoned multifamily property and make it bigger if that makes you happy. You really could be doing so many productive things with your time rather than defend questionable upzoning MLM schemes.
I prefer to think of it them as farmland, which a greedy developer built housing units for maximum profit on. In fact, the state had a lot of nerve blasting a state highway through an area where residents didn't want it, all for the benefit of greedy developers.
Yeah, all the benefit went to those evil, greedy developers. Because those houses are all empty right? No human beings are taking advantage of the new housing?
