These two Public Meetings were combined. There were a number of members of the public speaking, all but one of which were against the proposal. There was one heart-wrenching speaker who did get quite a bit off track from the issues that can be addressed at a Public Meeting, but painted a real-life picture of why better and stronger policies are needed around affordable housing, especially what needs to be in place if a developer is tearing down affordable housing in order to build.
