I agree. I think the city is only really hearing one side of the story with NIMBYs being very vocal. I have been to a few of these things but admittedly I don't speak up because I'm not from these areas and I don't feel confident to voice my opinions, but I might have to just throw something in there about the city is being held back when we need all of the development and growth we can get at this time.
