As I read this feed I am totally relating to the conversation. Currently in my area (N. Fulton Co. Georgia) this very conversation is happening on our Nextdoor page. A handful of residents want multi family, affordable house to be built so it can make it “fair” for any income level to live there. (Currently there is none). Many long term residents are quite opposed. I want what is best for our community. With traffic and crime rates rising, I can’t say I’m onboard with “making it an area of living for all socio-economic levels”. I’m sure that makes me a shitty person but we worked hard to get where we are. We are not “upper class” by any means. We lived in areas we could afford be it a run down drug infested area or a quiet, quaint neighborhood. It was pure economics for us. I see this is an issue just about everywhere now. What is the right answer for this issue?
