The answer to not selling is to just keep producing

I can stand on the corner of my street and Grove St. and in one direction, not even a block away, see 2 new housing communities that have been for sale for months(maybe going on a year or more, I can't even remember anymore) that are still empty. In the other direction, on my street going east, there is another small housing community on the opposite corner that may have sold 2 units but is otherwise empty. And coming back towards my house, next to the fire station, there is another housing community being built that will most likely have the same fate as the other 3..AND NOW the lot right next to my house..that has been empty for the 7 years we've lived here(and before that)..has just been attacked by contractors in the last few days who tore down my favorite beautiful yellow tree and every other tree along our drive-way and are beginning their work on a "high density" affordable housing community. Fuck. That.

We didn't learn after the second expensive housing community NOBODY BOUGHT so we had to build 2 more? They are JUST NOW going to make affordable housing?! We couldn't have used one of those other lots that were ready for development and left the lot next to my house empty? or maybe made it into a nice open lawn/park sort of deal? THAT would have been nice and of much better use when considering all of the other lots they turned into expensive housing.

The "Foss Creek Villas" were once normal affordable apartments.. so logically they threw everyone out to remodel them into a deserted neighborhood.

It's too dumb for words and I can only hope for the best for whatever/whoever happens to be in the lot that is going to be hugging my house(It's seriously as close as they could get).

Why Healdsburg? WHY?
