This isn't about traffic or grocery stores ( and we can use mulitple choices for groceries in the area). It's about encrochment. It's about a loss of a way of life. It's a class struggle. It's a neighborhood struggle. While I am all for this being built ( with grocery strore) I am very aware that the feeling of a way of life being eroded is real.
I have been in that situation many times myself.
So, I prefer to be very aware and sympathetic to that.
Oftern neighborhoods know that if they give an inch the next developer will indeed ask for the proverbial mile.
Perhaps it's time to start offering up more stringent development guidelines within neighborhoods in order to gain more freedom on the edges of neighborhoods.
I'm not sure what that is..... but it sure beats the hell out of just yelling "NIMBY" all the time.
