South Pearl? That's a new one.
The last complaint might be my most favorite one.
"The value of preserving the cultural and ethnic diversity of South Pearl that extends west of the new Chinatown/Japantown, including African American community who were pushed out of smaller, brick and wooden framed buildings. The community who resides here should be commemorated by preserving the low-rise character of the South Pearl district rather than a pattern of incompatible "vertical sprawl" that the Design Commission set in motion."
This is some serious entitled garbage that I would want to berate the entitled asshole who wrote this because this reads like something straight out of a rich, white persons handbook using racial diversity to defend their wealthy white area. I also love how this grasps at straws to try to make it sound like it is some historic ethnically diverse neighborhood when the Pearl District was just beginning to be built when I moved here and the South Pearl doesn't even exist outside of this entitled group of people. I am willing to bet that this entire group that put together this list of complains are some of the least diverse people in the city. Also you can't call building tall vertical sprawl because building up is literally the opposite of sprawl.
Seriously, I want to yell at whomever wrote this until they are ashamed to have even gotten out of bed this morning.
Yep, look at all the diversity on this board!
So much diversity with Pearl Neighbors for Integrity in Design
