The community that lives and pay taxes will not have a voice about what gets built in their community? Then HOA s should not exist either and neither should business and first class in airplanes. City planners need to thoughtfully rezone as needed and strike a balance to preserve the interest of the tax payers of a neighborhood as well as allow new population housing needs. But to simply demonize a set of residents who live in a particular place for voicing their opinions is middle age witch burning mentality.
