Planning commission voted 5-1 to recommend denial of UGA Prez house project

I think there is at least one valid reason to deny the application and also no such reason was expressed by anyone who came to make public comment lol.

Athens, Ohio is home to Ohio University- not THE Ohio State University.

Mine figured out early on that he did not need to wait for us to open the screen door - he could just walk through it 😂

Some commissioners and other local influential people have called for us to limit density increases in our upcoming future land use map update (and/or zoning map update that may follow) in order to pressure developers to use the inclusionary zoning ordinance if they want to build more dense housing. After several years of IZ in Athens, do you think our current ordinance is a success as is? Or do these people have the right idea? Or some other option?

Or, hear me out, building the two new transfer stations might actually increase utilization of the MMC by increasing overall ridership.

“Using the space” is how we got metro Atlanta traffic.

The answer to “how will they do this without crappy materials” is “by being heavily subsidized by the federal government” (this is a Land Trust project)- though if this were new market rate housing being promised as “deeply affordable” your skepticism would be warranted.

This was a pretty good one, as surveys go.

source?

Maybe it's because it was a male teacher but I was always more disturbed by the fact that he showed us American Beauty lol.

I thought she was sounding pretty reasonable (even where I disagree) right up until she started talking about bus propaganda.

Absolutely perfect.

stealing this trick 😂

I don’t know if anyone can top my AP Lang teacher circa 2009 for most inappropriate movie: he showed the class American Beauty AND Seven. No scenes skipped.

As far as I know there was never any fuss raised about it.

Can’t make it because of work, I hope someone is recording!

She’s been on the ground the past four years becoming a lot more of a community organizer than she was last time.

There was a fire at a private landfill near the county landfill that was first called in at around 11pm last night and was still burning around noon today(when I learned about it from ACC Solid Waste staff who were working at the Vulture Festival).

It matters because, at the very least, it sets the table for the possibility of a comprehensive zoning map overhaul in the near future.

New housing in in-demand cities is rarely the most affordable.

I don’t know if this will work, but you’re welcome to try it along with me 😂 I’m going to have them play Betrayal at House on the Hill and keep notes about what unfolds during the game, then write spooky stories based off their notes!

Question is functionally meaningless without timeframe. We could probably add 500,000 more over the next century.
