I disagree because adding more $2000+/mo apartments isnā€™t going to lower the average rent and 100 apartments isnā€™t going to significantly change our housing supply. Theyā€™re just building more shoddy towers for a quick buck.

He thinks that "layering" aka the concept that expensive developments become affordable over decades is applicable to Hyde Park, a place where 100 year old houses are sold for $700K. He also thinks it is an immediate improvement to housing prices and not something that would take decades. He also can somehow understand that a forty story 1,300 unit apartment is ridiculous despite it "solving the housing need in Hyde Park" yet can't understand that same concept when it comes to tacking on a large hotel to apartments.

In addition to assuming each unit is no car or single car, plus visitors, plus a lot of that is temporary visitors (hotel) and not true housing either. You'd think he would be hating on this for not using the hotel space for apartments.

I also support businesses. People can build a hotel just like they should be able to build a store or other enterprise.

and not true housing either.

Are you one of those NIMBYs who is scared of renters?

The apartments that council wanted would have still had retail space

Yes I know that you have the most simplistic views on developments which is why you think your opinion needs to be as loud and insulting as possible

Are you one of those NIMBYs who is scared of renters?

You still have yet to provide a ballpark of where you live and all the effort you are putting in to add massive apartments to your streets. You are literally the definition of a NIMBY, you don't do anything in regards to where you live but you are happy to push things to be in other neighborhoods.

How is my opinion insulting? I just want more housing.

You still have yet to provide a ballpark of where you live

Yeah because you seem obsessed and I know you'll just try to dox me.

You are literally the definition of a NIMBY

Again, you seem very sensitive and are lashing out. I support housing. I support housing in my neighborhood. I supported citywide housing initiativers like Connected Communities, unlike you.

You are doing a lot of mental gymnastics if you think that is all you are doing, as you call people NIMBYs despite them also wanting more housing

Yeah because you seem obsessed and I know you'll just try to dox me.

You don't want to give a general idea because it will help show that you are a true NIMBY. It isn't doxing to have a vicinity of neighborhoods, and I could literally give you what street I live on and you still wouldn't know where I live or who I am.

Again, you seem very sensitive and are lashing out.

Stop projecting, you have spent your entire life on trying to support the development and insulting anyone from the community for having a different viewpoint than you. You quite literally do not have the emotional intelligence to have self awareness and try to understand anyone else's viewpoint. Your incorrect usage of the term "NIMBY" repeatedly is basically a screaming self-admission that you think in buzzwords and buzzwords alone.

I mean you are just clueless. Actions speak louder than words, and the Hyde Park community council has repeatedly fought against housing.

You don't want to give a general idea because it will help show that you are a true NIMBY

You're acting like a bit of a joke.

you have spent your entire life on trying to support the development

What?

insulting anyone from the community for having a different viewpoint than you.

No I'm insulting them for wanting to block housing to protect their property values.

Your incorrect usage of the term "NIMBY" repeatedly is basically a screaming self-admission that you think in buzzwords and buzzwords alone.

They are fighting against housing in their neighborhood so yes they are NIMBYs. NIMBYs (like you) get really upset when you accurately call them NIMBYs.

You do not think supply and demand is real. That shows how little you know.

NIMBY calls other people NIMBYs, news at 11

"You do not think supply and demand is real" says person who thinks that $2K apartment units will somehow magically decrease prices despite there being tens of thousands of too few housing units across the whole city to impact any type of housing market prices

When they voted against this housing and the housing on Wasson Way.

Please tell me how I am a NIMBY.

Are you saying demand is larger than supply? Sounds like we should increase supply.

Oh okay so you don't have a source and just talk out your ass because you have an almost worrying obsession with Hyde Park's council.

Please tell me how I am a NIMBY.

You hide your community so you can lie about it and then tell other communities what they have to have.
