Best aspects (respondent's words): I would say a 4 story building in my neighborhood would stick out like a sore thumb.  There are only one to two story homes in this area and a 4 story apartment building is unacceptable and will ruin the character of the area.  I do not object to making some of the units affordable, but what I do object to is the height of the building.
Worst aspects (respondent's words): I find that a four story building in my neighborhood is unacceptable as it would stick out like a sore thumb.  There are all one and two story homes here.  I would also object to a large number of units going to people who earn less than $30,000 as this area has very expensive homes and this apartment building would bring down the value of the homes.
