Yet at the same time, I've been saying now for over 12 years, if we want residents to be able to age in place and stay in place and have community and neighborhoods, then we need to be conscious of the decisions that we're making.
Is this a great project?
Yeah, it is a great project.
For this location, not for me.
in a different location this would be a even better project when we look at the way our city has grown and the developments that we collectively have a pool.
There are some areas where more development has happened then in other parts of the city we can say well, let's do the cost we've been a number of us have been around here for more than a decade so we can see
what we thought was going to happen in development many years ago and what the reality of that is.
The comments that came from community were reasonable from the residents, not just from the religious community.
A lot of us don't attend the churches that's in our neighborhood.
My church is 20 something minutes from where I live.
I passed probably about five churches heading to my home church when something's happening in the community outside of showing up the volunteer.
I'm not going to try to direct development, but when we have residents that send an email as an example to say, I experienced the day-to-day effects and will experience the day-to-day effects on this development on the community and the quality of life when we are
interested in building a city, not just for those who are moving into Charlotte, but those who have been here and who have invested and whose taxes has helped us to grow to this point.
I appreciate that the community and the religious community has come out to show support with your signs.
I'm more concerned about
The emails, the calls, the text messages that we have received from the residents.
And it is difficult because I just voted yes for a project because of concessions and things that were made and because of the type of product that it is.
And I am going to be supporting Council Member Graham on the no on this one.
But I do want us to be very clear.
I am not here for any part of the conversation where just because you say, well, it falls under faith and housing, that's an automatic check.
