>Are you honestly trying to tell me that if we just let developers do whatever the hell they wanted, those houses would exist?

Of course they wouldn't exist. I never said that and I agree with holding developers accountable! I just don't think the public realizes how much that actually happens. East Liberty is full of affordable housing and luxury housing. It's a success story.

This whole thread is full of people insisting that holding developers accountable is going to hinder the growth of affordable housing. I also know a LOT of people who don't consider East Liberty a success story. There's an entire documentary series (East of Liberty) about it.

Neighborhoods go through transition and I think East Liberty's latest is balanced, considering.

I know the bitter documentary, if it was ever finally pieced together into one. I'm just glad there are less murders and street prostitutes near my home.

Walking the .75 miles from downtown East Liberty to my home was absolutely not a good idea 20 years ago.

East Liberty has been a huge success for a middle-aged white lady like me. I agree. I just do not feel good about it.
