YIMBYana Press Release: Opposition to Green Acres Conservation District Proposal

"The group is concerned that the proposal will limit new infill housing in Green Acres, a neighborhood close to Indiana University’s campus, thereby increasing housing costs and reducing availability. This could force students and other residents to seek housing further from campus, exacerbating affordability and accessibility issues"

@benfulton @bloomington_in

If YIMBYs are in favor of turning parks into asphalt, then YIMBYs are bad

but terms and conditions apply; what I said is certainly true for NYC or Chicago, maybe not Bloomington

but in general the willingness of YIMBYs to pave over grass is IMO really bad IMO

@failedLyndonLaRouchite @bloomington_in This particular kerfuffle is about tearing down some single-family houses and replacing them with apartment buildings.

@failedLyndonLaRouchite @bloomington_in Listening in on the meeting about this...it has the feeling that they will be going all night 😬 A presentation from a homeowner followed by commission discussion and we're 45 minutes in. There are going to be public comments for hours.
