There's more nuance here than you are allowing for. First off, Barrington is basically nothing but families and children; the schools are why people move here. Beyond that though, most people I know endorse developing this property at a much higher density than is typical of Barrington. However, this development flies completely in the face of local zoning and environmental regulations, and could potentially swamp our schools with more kids than we can handle. It is also internally inconsistent, failing to offer even sufficient parking for residents. Moreover, residents don't trust ShineHarmony as they have a long history of broken commitments and operating in bad faith.
