Petition of Opposition to Creek Bend Apartments at 281 North and Borgfeld Dr

Hello Ags! Class of '99. That's me, Mason Brand, in the News 4 video.

Please consider signing the petition I started to oppose the Creek Bend apartments slated to be built at 281 North and Borgfeld Dr.

This is going to cause an insane traffic nightmare at 281 North and Borgfeld Drive, as well as further exacerbate the already over capacity Pieper Ranch Middle School and Pieper High School with enrollment numbers.

ADMINS: if this needs to be moved to the politics forum, please politely reply stating so, and I'll repost it there. Applies to San Antonio obviously.

good luck- and tell Courage he is a POS if you see him

Just be honest and say you do t want Section 8 housing in your area.

That's where the government just spent hundreds of millions of dollars on infrastructure improvement for 281, right?

And now you want them to stop development?

What do you feel is the difference between your stance and the uber-libs in Portland, San Fransico, and other urban areas that have made the cost of living prohibitively expensive by blocking high-density housing?

As long as is meets the zoning standards of the land its on its going to happen. Whining that its going to cause traffic or overcrowd schools is not only useless but dumb. If you don't like it move further out of the city where there is not market for this type of housing.

No one wants section 8 housing in their neighborhood - not because of some aversion to people in need but because historically it brings the value of their property down. Additionally it is wasteful spending of tax dollars since that is some fricking expensive real estate
for subsidized housing. We could provide those in need better, e.g., more square feet per dollar in other zip codes but the point since Obama has been to be sure equity is achieved. Not by helping people who are in need make their own neighborhoods better, but by making better neighborhoods worse with "affordable housing" in more affluent zip codes. It doesn't make the people who live there more affluent, that I know of. But maybe there's data to the contrary. Equity rarely seems to make things good for all, instead it achieves making it crappy for most.

Moved out to Kinder Ranch 2.5 years ago as we start a young family. As we approach elementary with our first, I will likely be sending her to private school. Maybe a charter school if we find one that makes sense. My wife is an attorney specializing in school law. No matter how good you think the conservative school districts are, the federal government is coming for your kids with their Title 9 BS. Go look up the regulations they passed down last week. The federal low income housing in the area is just the cherry on top.
