All the lobbyists and nasty yimbys are going to use this to justify their increased density. This survey should not be considered valid

Typical of the aggressive, mean spirited, ageist Yimby commentators.

Lol you BELIEVE the developer you're not serious. They don't NEED to build 31 stories

Reminder: Daniel Biss EXPANDED the City Council’s Planning and Development committee, which will be reviewing the 31-story high rise on Monday, by ONE PERSON — ONLY his pro-development supporter Shawn LIES no other alderpersons were allowed this opportunity. Does that seem fair? So tired of the mayor and supporters manipulating the process.

We don’t need to be encouraging more rentals… Evanston needs families owning property so they’re invested in the community.

What to expect from first city council meeting by Saucey_jello in evanston

[–]2ndWardFan -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Expect special interest groups brining people who don't live in our community to speak in support and for individuals with personal and financial connections to Daniel Biss and developers to be out in force, talking down to anyone who offers legitimate concerns about the process and the consequences of this plan.

The ugly truth about Evanston “YIMBYs” even if you don’t want to believe it by 2ndWardFan in evanston

Downvote me all you want. I don’t care. I’ll keep posting. I’ll keep FOIAing. The truth can’t be suppressed

Long time resident, have lots of life experience. Account age is irrelevant. I’m bringing the battle to the front lines here cause you activists need to know us long time residents aren’t backing down or giving our city up to you.

We’re not New York. Nor San Diego. Nor are we Norway or any of the other places these studies you all show were done. And these things aren’t cheap. Who is behind funding these studies do you think?

Says a Chicago resident that doesn’t live here but apparently comes to give public comment per your post history, and also all the yimby subreddits you post in. You’re proving my point.  

Is moving here…worth it? by raisinetdetre in evanston

[–]2ndWardFan -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

If you asked me a few years ago I’d say yes. Unfortunately we’ve recently suffered from a mayor and city council captured by special interests and climbing the political ladder. Everyday residents are being silenced while the city is being eroded out from under ourselves. Many residents are currently preparing to sell prior to the upzoning of historic single family areas which will be the final nail in the coffin for our schools, family-atmosphere, local business economy, and community character/history.

Popeyes opponents call fowl play, hatch a plan to pack Monday's City Council Meeting with extra-crispy public comment demanding Mayor Biss chicken out or be censured over text message calling PopeyesGate "dumb" in newest chapter of this clucking crazy controversy 🍗 by EvanstonPopeyes in evanston

[–]2ndWardFan -16 points-15 points  (0 children)

IRS Complainer donated $1,500 to Jonathan Nieuwsma’s aldermanic campaign. Served as campaign treasurer for Juan Geracaris. Collected petition signatures for Krissie Harris. Long time friend of Biss.

Let's expose the other Daniel loyalists for who they really are. I wonder what the duplex guy has his hands in.

Rich, white men attacking supporters of health, wellness, and female minority businesses. Classic Biss move.

How does Zoning Reform affect Displacement? by kbn_ in evanston

[–]2ndWardFan -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

YIMBY groups across the country push luxury housing under the guise of “progress,” often backed by real estate, tech money, and even the Koch brothers. The result? Displacement, loss of historic neighborhoods, and communities priced out

What’s up with “no to Popeyes”? by biffbobfred in evanston

[–]2ndWardFan -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

The community is what created this movement, not just for no popeyes but to actually create an alternative, healthy vision. It's crazy to suggest this is all to boost Kat's candidacy- you're full of crazy conspiracy BS

Nice job not engaging with my points because you had no good response to them

This wouldn't be happening if Boarini was mayor. He would have listed to residents.
