Some might say we want density on the bus line. But that is a joke!! Nobody who is paying half a million dollars for a condo will ever set foot on the bus! They will get in their car, which is parked in the parking garage in the building! I’ll bet even the people in the two tiny units making 60K a year won’t ride the bus. The City is using the excuse of a bus line to allow developers to knock down our neighborhoods.

FY2027 Budget passed and highlights from June 9 Work Session and Public Comments
More than 75 residents gathered June 4 at the Tarboro Road Community Center for a Livable Raleigh forum on the city’s affordable housing crisis, where five longtime community leaders shared recommendations for addressing displacement and preserving affordable communities. If you weren’t able to attend you can watch the video now.
The city’s efforts to bridge the affordability gap have been swamped by the rise in housing costs and the teardowns of older, affordable homes. Two months ago, Livable Raleigh presented a plan to do better.
Join us for a community conversation about Affordable Housing
The choice is not between density everywhere anywhere and slow growth. The answer lies in responsible growth.
Highlights from May 5 City Council meetings
Allowing more smaller, affordable units on a lot that would otherwise contain one expensive unit has clearly hit a sweet spot with Portland builders and affordability advocates. Portland’s housing reforms aren’t a silver bullet, but they are a powerful reminder to Raleigh that well-designed policies can produce affordable, human-scaled homes in Raleigh neighborhoods people already love.
