Why are we still protecting the feelings about people using cars? Let them suffer the way they make the earth suffer.

And why do we care about the commercial aspect of the property? What more do we need as far as businesses downtown? I can buy everything I need; food, household, etc.

The town needs more low income housing if they want to attract the people who actually BUY things in town and who actually WORK in town. It needs more housing to lower the cost of housing. Unlike the failed Greenbridge project which is green only because it is empty, I think a rental building like this would do far more for the community. And maybe some of the Northside residents will have a place to live in town.

Do you really think making people live *further* away from town actually helps traffic any? The most likely tenants will be people that want to live within walking distance of work.
