(Or at least those who sit on the board of the Town Center Community Association)
Some highlights:
We are the people who now number 4,622 in 2,047 households, and we cannot conceive of or easily accept almost tripling our population by adding 5,500 new residential units requiring 8,250 parking spaces...
