[...] In her first article Jennifer writes: Now, it’s easy to see why someone might protest. If your neighbor went from being a cute little 900 square foot one story Bungalow where Mom, Dad, Junior and Spot have lived for years (along with their 1.5 cars), to being a multi-family 2000+ sqft (per unit) modern structure that can house a small fraternity (and ALL those extra cars) AND blocks your sunlight, you might be a little miffed, too. Whether or not you approve of the architectural styling of the new stuff (I love it, but many don’t), there’s no question that the construction process and the end result will impact your life.

Thanks

Jennifer – you nailed it. This is about a small group of residents trying to take away the property rights of the rest of us. In 2005 the North Denver News quoted downzoner Steve Kite saying “We moved here because it was an R2 neighborhood, and have lived in the neighborhood, with all its variety, for years.” So what explains the about-face of Mr. Kite? Nothing! Hes just not being rational.
