or it could be because she and the neighbors have seen developers promise one thing and deliver a sub-standard product. Forcing the code zoning to require developers to due certain things, by laws, is win-win for most neighborhoods. Increased density, along with some commercial and infrastructure improvements for the surrounding neighborhood. That is one of the big issues in this city, the developers have simply not delivered on promises made in proposals, and no way of city-council or neighborhoods to do anything about it. A perfect example is Water Parks Apartment Complex. Current code requires developers to put in sidewalks only in the areas where they offer entrances and exits. Well the developer took one the exits out of the plans prior to construction to avoid having to put in a half-mile of sidewalk. Guess what, couple years after its opened, an exit/entry appears on said side of street. 7 years later, no sidewalk for the nieghborhood. Not only that, but the sidewalk would of most likely required curb, gutter and a street improvement. None of that happened. Now that side street is heavily trafficked area, asphalt is crumbling, and the middle school and high school kids from the apartment complex stand in gravel spot along a road with no curbs, no rain gutters, no sidewalks, exposed sewer caps, etc... All because the developer wanted to save 100,000k on a multi-million apartment complex.

These huge, low-rise, gated apartment complexes surrounded by parking lots have to go. Its time for 5 over 1 construction, or even taller, require parking garages, access to sidewalks and first floor retail.

Thats what Pool wants, real urban development, not more shitty apartment complexes for $2800 a month.
