Ridiculous. This is why we have a housing crisis in this city and country. No one wants anything built anywhere, and then go on and complain that they can't find any affordable places to live.
These people don't own that property. The city should have a planning and zoning department that can construct a grand plan for city development, developers can submit plans that are then reviewed by the planning board, and everyone else can literally shut the $%@# up.
Build. Build. Build. Drown the city with supply, and watch housing prices and rents start to moderate and fall. The city will flush with new property tax dollars and we can fund all sorts of things to help our communities.
So unbelievably frustrating.
