    Surely there is more than one place that low income housing can be built in a town, and discussion of where that should be is not per se insanity.

    I don’t want an animal shelter built next door to my house. They are very, very noisy. Does that mean I hate puppies and want them all euthanized?

      Surely there is more than one place workers and people trying to enjoy downtown can park.

      I assume they considered more than one location for this project, and I’m confident every possible location would elicit complaints on facebook. Discussions should be had, but I’m still being judgemental of this facebook post.

      Good point

      Random totally related story - The last place I lived at most people didn’t want any more housing whatsoever (affordable or otherwise). It was a major issue for town elections. Those same people were also complaining that the town wasn’t growing 🙄
