If you've received the 8x5 black postcard in the mail from a self-proclaimed "rezone expert" with the map and list of projects. Ignore it, because none of the projects can not be verified and they're just going of off a rather lame attempt at interpreting development codes and min/mac densities. Honestly, if you were going to sell, would you trust that transaction to someone who is so misinformed and confused about the process?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5741412946805763929.post-1198372529863980322016-10-04T10:12:10.258-07:002016-10-04T10:12:10.258-07:00These recomendations make for a very not-welcoming...These recomendations make for a very not-welcoming living style. Let's pack them in like rats, then jack up the rates anyway and make a bundle!!!

Thanks Obama!<br /><br />To correct Will Hall's statement: <br />1) "Some" local opponents doesn't accurately capture the amount of opposition. The city has yet to proof of the overwhelming support they claim they have for the upzones. <br />2) Those opposed to the upzones are not opposed to change and would have welcomed reasonable density increases. Just not the super-sized, crazy train levels of density and height... a happy meal, cookie cutter "plan" that came with no plan for infrastructure, schools, 1000+ tree replacement, watershed protections, loss of air quality, loss of tree canopy, utilities, additional funding for human services. You're misrepresentation of how your opposition views change is getting sad, old, tired. Do come up with something more original next time. <br />3) In addition to reasonable upzoning and density, these 'opponents' do support commercial and apartment buildings where they belong... a concentric circle adjacent to the station and... in the eyesore vacant lots along aurora... next to.. not just within walking distance, but right outside the front door....wait for it... high-capacity, rapid ride transit!<br /> Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
