What long time residents? As I already said there’s no housing in the east or west lot, and now there’s none across the street.

All of what I described is needed if you want New Haven to be a more prosperous, safer, nicer, and modern place to live

Here’s some detail on preliminary plans none of which is moving fast enough:

I've lived many places and New Haven by far is one of the safest. It's not hard to figure out what a long time resident of New Haven would be. Someone who didn't move here for because of a job offer. Someone whose family has lived here for generations. Those people are being consistently priced out by ppl who insist on building market rate housing. More affordable housing is necessary. Market rate≠affordable.

Statistically New Haven used to be one of the most dangerous cities in the country. It’s better today but safety could be improved.

My recommendations are primarily about increasing economic opportunity and prosperity in the city and for the state.

Also market rate housing is what the market (majority) can afford
