My response to a friend and neighbor: “I have no problem with 3-4 story housing all along the corridors, throughout the city, and higher heights on larger lots like the old hospital site. So when the planner you quoted gave his/her version of the position of people questioning the current rezoning plan (“don’t build adjacent to single-family neighborhoods”), that is deliberately misleading. Which is one of the reasons a lot of people don’t actually trust the planners very much!”
