Hyde Park Infill and Small Developments

One challenge might be that the developer is directly appealing to the neighborhood NIMBYs with this proposal. They would 1000x prefer self storage over housing, and they’re likely to speak out at public meetings to thank the developer for this kindness.

I’m also worried that this could have a terrible domino affect stretching down HP Ave. In the sense that the previously approved project probably gave confidence to the developers across the street that they could rely on a neighborhood transformation. You're absolutely right about the importance of this lot, the outcome here might affect much more than one project.

*Strongly agree* with this take. There's tons of demand for self storage, too, given housing shortages.
