An incumbent ticket, and an interesting theory.
Citizen advocate Bob Geary at the Independent delved into affordable housing and the lack of it in Wake County last week. Geary cites North Hills massive redevelopment and increased density as problematic in that there was no requirement of affordable housing in exchange for the density increase.
Bob Geary has a nice summary post written this morning about the controversy around Heather Vance joining the Planning Commision. Lunsford Lane has the facts on how the Planning commission works. Both articles are well worth the read on this controversial appointment that will be an important part of how the city grows. Late last week we posted an article imploring the council to endorse Ms. Vance. New Raleigh’s position is that she is the most qualified candidate and carries citizen’s interests first.
