minus-squareJeremiah England@toast.oooOPlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·edit-21 year agoI’m a little surprised by the reaction to this idea (I assume downvotes mean people want the park instead). There is a pretty nice park by the city hall just down the road that I assume attracts most of the visitors. Having 220 more housing units right next to downtown means probably 400 or more people with walking distance to enjoy it. Seems like a win to me.
