If you're afraid (or overjoyed) that this might change the city overnight, you might want to read this story about an area of Portland that repealed its apartment ban 39 years ago.
Even without exclusionary zoning, neighborhoods change very slowly.

- dsfyu404ed 7y agoAnyone who is worried about the neighborhood "changing overnight" should be worried about immigration and not the international kind. It's wealthy people from the next city or state over who change things when they move in because they have the money (which is convertible to political power although the conversion is not 100% efficient) to change things how they want.
