Add possibly 500 people???..............I'm not scared.

Right. The point I was trying make (though awkwardly) was that a vertical structure such as an apartment building can accommodate a much larger number of residents per square foot of real estate than can a single story home. Had they decided to live in single family homes, they would have occupied a much more expansive swath of land that would have promoted the opening of even more businesses and TV amenities.

That said, if you're not worried then neither am I. I'm new at this and I'm sure (well, I'm not sure really) someone is tabulating all this to provide for the excess capacity required to accommodate us all.

Let's hope it's not the same person/people who keep tabs on the how many under age-55ers buy here.

Actually I haven’t brick and mortar for at least 4 years for any retail. Only store I shop every 3 weeks is TJs. Amazon, athletica, buck naked is my friend

After one hits 50 what else do you ever need.

My work clothes are green pajamas that someone loving bleaches, folds and has a stiffness that goes away in couple hours.

I cannot stand ordering on line and don’t do it. I used to but now I want to see what I’m buying. I haven’t ordered a thing since this whole quarantine began and not likely to. Never even crosses my mind.

I’m with you, at this point how much traipsing from store to store does one want to do? The ordering online is great. If I’m not sure size wise, I order the two close sizes and return the poor fit. Shopping is not high on my list of entertaining events.

Shopping beats the hell out of being forced to stay home

It don’t say where the amenities fees are going, now if it said you are in district 9 aNd pay amenities fee to district 9 then good to go? Nowhere does it say the developer that collects the fees passing it onto district 9. What going to stop them from building apt. In each district?

One more minor correction : I don't believe you will see any elevators there.

The following was passed by unanimous vote by District 9 supervisors yesterday at their meeting. Don did ask some questions to express his concerns. See his post # 9 in this thread for questions which are valid in my opinion.

Just amazing how any conversation can turn into developer bashing.

Actually, each building has elevators. The elevator pits and towers were the first things built. Then the buildings went up around them.
