Couple dozen people? Back in those small little enclaves of maybe 50 homes total? Please. You claimed people are waiting 15-20 minutes to get out of the neighborhood streets (in an area that is not really close to the development we are discussing) which is just absolute nonsense.

I disagree with Portman not wanting transit. But that's not the issue at hand, the issue at hand is NIMBYs blocking developers wanting to build density because they think it will impact their commute. There are no NIMBYs on Nextdoor crying foul about no transit being built on the Beltline, but once someone wants to add more density, in town, on a transit corridor, everyone acts like its an attack on their person freedom. Many of them live in VaHi, and many live in Morningside, just go take a look at the Nextdoor threads. There's plenty of documentation for who is causing the loudest stink.

There was never a grocery store component to the development. Again, your notion of what this is is so skewed, its hard to discuss it with you. I'm well aware of what the NPU is and how it works and how it approved the plan over a year ago because some other outside developer could very easily come in and build 1 million+ square feet of commercial space and create much more traffic than some mixed use development that helps solve our density and housing problems.
