This is not a hostile decision, nor is it a slap for us to oppose a petition.
Our residents expect us to
thoughtfully consider each petition.
So another thing I do want to add, and Councilmember J.D., you got a lot of props, if you will, for talking about that affordable housing in District 5 a couple weeks ago, or was it last month?
Last month.
And I know we're not going to talk about it, but one of the things you talked about was location, and we have to build communities in our city and locations and consider that.
So when we talk about affordability and affordable housing,
We have to be considerate of the big picture.
University City, and if you led District 4, I think you did Council Member Mitchell years ago, our residents have been asking for restaurants, a sit-down restaurant, for years.
We don't get sit-down restaurants because we're told that we don't have the income requirement or it's not an ideal area.
We have a wonderful piece of property in District 4 that would be ideal for a sit-down restaurant, but you know what's going to go there?
A hair supply store.
So we have to be cognizant of how we're growing our areas, and this is an opportunity to take a look at that.
Again, it's a great project.
I support affordability, but we've got to look at this from a cumulative perspective, from a location perspective, and this is just not the right fit for that area.
Thank you.
Thank you, Mr. Driggs.
I'd like to echo what my colleagues are saying.
I sincerely, genuinely think this is not a hostile denial.
I think that really sets us up for failure for future partnerships.
