The naysayers definitely didn't care about affordable housing or luxury housing.

Nimbyism is tough, if I lived next to it, I don't know that I'd be different. But overall we all have to take a look and ask what's good for the whole community.

Last point, affordable housing in the low income sense is a thing that exists well in Springfield. What we need, like everyone else, is blue collar/workforce housing. The problem is, there's just not grants out there promoting that. You can get up to 10% back from the government for affordable low income property construction, or you could make up the same money by building luxury. There's just no money in building average to basic apartments.
