I totally get the impulse to keep things the same, but it just isn’t realistic and cities have never stayed the same over decades. It’s a real failure of politicians to promise that they can freeze a neighborhood in amber.

It’s sad to me because space could be carved out to help people stay and to give them better city services while allowing the change to happen.

Totally. If only we could get more honest politicians.

Maybe. Services cost money.

For sure, but a little population growth can generate a lot of revenue. The next few years might be tough but investments need to be long term in focus.
