Why some homeowners speak "down" aboutthe concept. There are new Lofts renters I know that could buy and sell most homeowners, both financia, AND in the measurement of character.
Hmmmm, I think you are missing the point and trying to put words in other peoples mouths. I have not read a single post saying anything bad about renters versus homeowners. The critical issue at hand is the location of the proposed high density Apartment complex and weather it is appropriate to locate it in a long standing single family residential neighborhood that already has traffic congestion and overused amenities. People who are familiar with zoning understand that one of the key criteria for re-zoning is that the proposed use will be in harmony with the existing neighborhood. It has absolutely nothing to do with the character of renters versus homeowners.
