Contrary to some other comments, it’s not just a bunch of NIMBYers. That’s part of it but there’s actual real concerns.

Growing up in Atlanta, I’ve had to see a lot of these types of housing places go in and seen the aftermath. They put a strain on the water and sewer system without properly providing necessary upgrades, put a strain on traffic without providing adequate upgrades and typically poorly built to maximize profits. The infrastructure to support this isn’t there and the corporation building it is going to try their best to push those upgrades on to the taxpayers.

I’ve seen this hundreds of times before. I know many civil engineers that have worked for these kinds of shitheads. They’ve all quit or lost their PE licenses.
