The Longmont City Council discussed a potential fee waiver program during its regular session Tuesday that it hopes will generate more attainable housing.
Wednesday’s paper featured an article regarding Launch: Longmont Housing in which the founder of the organization opined in a quote that the notion that a multi-story apartment building would ever block a view is “laughable.” If the goal of the opinion was to alienate existing residents, destroy the speaker’s own credibility, and undermine any chance of coalition building with those who have lived in Longmont for many decades longer than that speaker, then I think the quote fully accomplishes that goal.
It's great to read what Project Launch: Longmont Housing and Councilwoman Martin have in store for us. I won't have to go to New York or San Francisco for my city fix. Reminds me of the song "In Tall Buildings" by the late John Hartford.
