Good point. I keep forgetting about that. Lee and College is a total cluster frick because they would shite themselves before 4 laning Lee.


And have held the whole city hostage all of these years. Take a look on Lee Drive the houses that would have to be demolished. It's maybe 10 and they are absolute pieces of rental shite.



Lee Drive needs to be 4 lanes, no doubt. There are a several nicer houses that would be affected, but it should happen.

As for Rouzan, I was against it. I think all of the area except for the stuff that fronts Perkins should be A-1. I know it will be developed, but it should be A-1, like Woodchase, not the high density stuff. I am not saying it should not be developed, just that it should not be high density.

The nicer ones sit farther back from the road. Mostly it's just the few from Perkins back maybe block and a half to two blocks and they are eyesores for the neighborhood.

In an urban setting (yes that tract is urban), a mix of commercial, multi-family, high-density residential, and single family residential is almost always more successful. This is why they want it zoned TND - it allows them to do it all.

Just because they are TND doesn't mean they wont build part of it out as SFR. A lot of it probably will be. It just gives them the ability to also build amenities such as a library, small supermarket, etc.
