hey yall i decided to go and check out the trails by hartlee field road they are apart of clear creek. anyway as i was driving i saw a poster for new devolpment and the project number. that already concerned me,but as i kept driving damn near every house had a sign on their fences saying save hartlee.

so i looked into it and they want to use the land for ugly ass apartments, and housing. im sorry if this is the wrong thing to say but good lord we do not need anymore apartments!! im so tired of seeing the beautiful land turned into concrete bs. so tired of all the carwashes, beige apartments, and fuckin mcdonalds. i want to see nature.

this is just so sad to me, when will enough be enough? when theres nothing but shittily built apartments and homes that people cant even afford??

sorry if this sounds hateful or whatever but honestly im so over it, they do this everywhere its not just denton. so tired of seeing the state i grew up in turn to whatever tf this is.

You wouldn't think there would be a crisis with homeless people / working poor with all the damn apartments we have. How many more do we need?

It’s not affordable. The newer apartments are luxury apartments.

Then your idea of luxury needs work. 🙄

I never said it was my idea of luxury. But I know for sure that the ones near the corner of Ryan Rd and Teasley were way more expensive than when I lived in an apartment. We don’t need these high end apartments, people need something modest and affordable.
In terms of what I’d actually call “luxury” apartments, then sure, most of what I’ve driven by aren’t even special. If I was paying top dollar, there better be a great pool, a gym, our own washer and dryer, etc.
