Save the date—June 3! Sign up by June 2 to testify from your keyboard in defense of existing affordable housing

RIP will remove existing affordable housing and mature
urban tree canopy in favor of refill with high-impact,
high-profit projects, which developers and planners deem
"highest and best use" of land previously home to diverse residents.

After postponing the RIP hearing March 12, the same day the mayor put COVID-19 restrictions into effect, Wheeler resumes his push for the Residential Infill Project, this time in a City Council online hearing set for 2 p.m. Wednesday, June 3.

However! You must sign up to testify by 4 p.m. Tuesday, June 2! Now's your chance to give our leaders a three-minute view of the avoidable outsize impacts of RIP; the deeper, uh, profitability bonus (at least the city's RIP announcement puts "Deeper Affordability Bonus" in quotes--'cause who we kidding); the laughable "limits" on McMansions (assuming they are unchanged from excepting the square footage of "basements" and "attics" generously interpreted); and so on.
