Neighborhood character is what they cited when they kicked out Willy Mayes. We are talking in some cases about people who bought houses knowing construction was permitted opposing it.

Traffic goes down when we have mixed use zones vs. Euclidean zoning.

"Neighborhood character is what they cited when they kicked out Willy Mayes."

It's fundamentally about turning public space into a private club. Fine. Just don't expect me to be happy about paying for roads and sewers in places that keep poor people out.
