1. Do you agree with the mayor’s proposal to allow “small lot dwellings, cottages or courtyard housing, rowhouses, duplexes, triplexes and stacked flats” in single-family zones? I will agree with the desires of the residents impacted by these policies. I
do not agree with ANY MORE DEVELOPMENT with out first addressing the
needed infrastructure paid entirely by new development first. We will never address our transportation
problems by building more parking garages with every multi family
development. You simply can not increase populations with cars, make
streets narrower to allow for bikes and busses and say you are doing
anything constructive on transportation congestion. We have been lied to
here in the 6th long enough. Development
in existing retail foot prints makes more sense to me than the
infiltration and destruction of our SFR neighborhoods with multi family
dwelling units. I do not think the
development that has taken place and will take place in our community is
in any way shouldering enough responsibility for the impact it is
having on the quality of life of existing residents. Sincerely, |
