Affordable housing survey response

Area type: Suburb

Education: Grad/Prof degree
2024 presidential vote: Donald Trump
Proposed building floors: 4
Position: Strongly oppose
Best aspects (respondent's words): This type of construction is ABSOLUTELY INAPPROPRIATE for this neighborhood. This is a suburban neighborhood of single family homes. It would significantly adversely affect the nature of the community to introduce apartment buildings into the neighborhood.
Worst aspects (respondent's words): Not only would this type of building be inappropriate for the neighborhood and change its character significantly and adversely, bringing a rental clientele into a community of owners, this particular mix of low-income housing would destroy the fiber of our middle income community, reduce the quality of our schools, increase crime and vagrancy in the neighborhood, and would cause people in the community to leave, significantly depressing property values. THIS WOULD BE AN UNMITIGATED DISASTER AND MUST BE STRONGLY OPPOSED BY ALL.
