I strongly support this proposal for more well located housing. Our community severely lacks housing, this will help get wealthier people off the market and free up older cheaper places for renters like me. We also have a severe lack of units with ocean views, reflected in a price premium, despite having 60km of coast in this council and 2100km in the state. These restrictions on housing supply are not just bad for the wealthy people that want to live there, but bad for the rest of us that face them at auctions and rental inspections. I have been rejected from several rental applications and have moved back home, it’s not acceptable that this council keeps listening to housed and happy loud obnoxious voices like KRAG who are objecting to this because they don’t like tall buildings, disingenuously pointing out minor issues, at the harm to the rest of the community.
