    I’d be upset, too. It shouldn’t be a hotel, it should be a park. A hotel in this pretty neighborhood would be awful. Especially since it’s probably going to be Millennial Beige

    A lovely neighborhood that was ruined by a parking lot and will continue to be ruined by building a hotel there

      Yeah but a hotel is still better than a parking lot. It’s literally the worst land use possible.

      A hotel would destroy the view from those units along the left, as well as the church. They can see for quite a ways now, after the hotel, they’ll be staring at a hotel. Why does this hotel get to bring down the living quality of those around it, with no compensation? Will rents in those units decrease because they are going be much less desirable when they are right up against a hotel with transient guests every day?

        There’s totally compensation. They give the local arts place a bunch of money and host local art. (Which they can pay to get out of.) And they also have to let people use the roof for a whole 20 hours a week! (Which they can pay to get out of.)

        If you don’t want to see other people or buildings, move to a cabin in the woods. Why should the people living in those units get to reap the profits of housing scarcity? Why should the people living in those units get to reap the benefits of living in a developed place developed with taxpayer money while disallowing others to do their same?

        And how was it? Worth demonstrating for in front of city council? I imagine someone switching off their car, closing their eyes and just soaking in the sweet satisfaction of having parked there.
