The one from last year was just 10 units... this one is .... *gasp* 28 units! Looking forward to hearing what comes out of the public meeting for this lol.

I wonder if we will see a police officer in uniform show up to the meeting again

I don't mind the density but they should have to design those buildings to look better if they want approval. Those are hideous.
