Best aspects (respondent's words): Most local housing is badly overpriced thanks to banks' outrageous mortgages for builders, and the greed of developers.  This construction is marginal, in that it does have some affordable units.  But at the same time we face an influx of new residents with cars, exacerbating our known parking and jammed roads.  I say the hell with construction that mostly pleases out of town greedheads with no concerns for their impact on our lives or on anything else except their profits.
Worst aspects (respondent's words): This plan rejects the most expensive for residents, and most profitable for the out of town bankers and developers.  Probably fewer cars to block our roads and pollute our air.  If this construction must occur, let this be its shape.
