I have a problem with people who think they are too good for a apartment community to built near their homes. Give me a break, new homes in Edmond are a dime a dozen and most our shoddy quality. 2 reasons to live in Edmond, CHEAP NEW HOUSE, and WHITE SCHOOLS. I am sorry but I have no sympathy for suburbs. Don’t get me started on the high end houses in Edmond, have toured them and have friends that live in them. Unimpressed.
Do you really want to pretend that there's no correlation between the typical resident of Section 8 housing and poor quality schools? The race baiting is cheap unless you're going to argue that being of a particular racial background means one can't get by without public housing... and who is the racist now?
Apartments are NOT good for a neighborhood! I live in CC, am not elitist and still do not want the apartments. Fact is, they are a transient population who will not care about where they live like a homeowner. Higher crime is possible. Tho would not mind more senior apts, not thrilled about the proposed apts. Used to live in an upscale neighborhood in socal with apts right down the street. My husband and I vowed to never purchase a home near an apartment complex again. Just our luck, the yr after we move in, there is a big uproar about just that. And I feel this way after living in apartments for most of my adult life! Homeowner since 2002, renter 1990-2001.
Yeah, because over sized houses are being built all over town right next door to apartment complexes. I really don't see what makes someone an elitist because they don't want apartments built next to their neighborhood. Its a fact that crime is higher in and around apartment complexes.
