When people ask why we struggle in @StPeteFL to get affordable units just read this over and over: "We can build more dwelling units, but we've met with the Historic Old Northeast Neighborhood Association [HONNA] countless times and that's not what they want,". In this case an old church in the middle of a neighborhood FULL of mixed housing on an acre of land that could house a dozen+ dwelling units will now just have….two When did this neighborhood association get elected to city council? #NIMBY stpeterising.com/home/local-dev…
@JeffreyBrandes @AnthonyClose @StPeteFL Amen. I’ve always been shocked by the power the City Council cedes to the neighborhood associations. I live 2 blocks from Westminster Church, on a block with single, duplex and multi unit homes. More of this is what is really needed.
