> They may not ONLY be fighting for some reasons, but this absolutely one of them. I’ve attended neighborhood and local council meetings, and I have literally never heard anyone talk about property value except those who are pro density, when accusing and attacking other residents. I’ve heard concerns about density affecting neighborhood character, crime, parking, traffic, etc but not property value. Sorry but I continue to think this is just a false generalization. > You'd have thought the city council was executing toddlers and pouring sugar in grandma's gas tanks. You’re claiming that people were angry about property value even though property value wasn’t a concern under proposed changes. That just doesn’t sound believable. Are you sure you’re hearing and understanding their perspective accurately? We all (me too) sometimes hear only what we want to hear. > I've also met more than my share of property owners who believe that property should be an appreciating asset, and that that is some form of inalienable or constitutional right Did anyone actually say they think it’s an “inalienable right” or a “constitutional right” or is that your editorialization? I have, however, heard people say that everyone has a “right” to housing - and you can find many opinion pieces saying the same with a simple search. Again, this all feels like projection.
