Developers: want to make money
You: how is that greedy???
Home owners: we don’t want the park ruined by a bunch of apartment buildings
You: this is greed.

How is the park ruined by an apartment building? Are they building the apartments in the park? The park will be busier. Is that what you mean by ruined? Cause that's not ruined.

Nah not what I meant. I like the trees around the park more than I would like a bunch of apartment buildings.

How would the park be ruined by building apartments down across the street?

It's not down the street. It's directly across the street from the park.

Ok. How would the park be ruined by building apartments across the street from the park?

Because right now there are a bunch of trees around there and that is nicer for the people at the park than a bunch of apartment buildings.
I personally would like to still have some sunshine there after 3pm instead of just being in the shade of an apartment building.

It will be ruined because the apartments will use the park as their retention pond.

The developer has no plans for dealing with runoff? That's a legitimate argument, though it seems like a failure on the planning and zoning commission to make them address it if true.

The do have a plan... To use the creek in the park as a natural filter... :*(

Well there you go. This is what the "vote no" crowd should be pushing.

I agree with you there.
