Growth should pay for growth!

Whitney Hill spoke to City Council June 9, 2026:
"Growth should not become a blank check for developers or a tax burden for existing residents. We must respect neighborhood voices. Public input should not be treated as an obstacle. It should be part of better planning."

A ZONING SCAM
https://livableraleigh.com/a-zoning-scam/

Matthew Brown spoke to City Council on June 9, 2026:
"Some might say we want density on the bus line. But that is a joke!! Nobody who is paying half a million dollars for a condo will ever set foot on the bus! They will get in their car, which is parked in the parking garage in the building! I’ll bet even the people in the two tiny units making 60K a year won’t ride the bus. The City is using the excuse of a bus line to allow developers to knock down our neighborhoods."
