IMPORTANT UPDATE. THERE IS NO NOMINATING ROUND THIS YEAR. THIS IS THE ONLY VOTING ROUND. If you planned to wait until AFTER the nominations to vote for us, you need a new plan. The vote is NOW.

The facts show that of the 303 zoning applications submitted and resolved from 2020 to today, only 5 have been denied including the previous version of the 30-story tower. 298 have been approved. An approval rate over 98.3%.
In the same time council has approved cases for over 110,000 housing units. What is clear is that Raleigh does not suffer from a lack of entitlement to build housing. You approved over 98% of requests, over 110,000 units. BUILD THEM!
The readers of INDY Week have nominated us as the “BEST LOCAL ACTIVIST GROUP in Wake County”. Please take a moment to vote for us.
The nominations for INDY’s Best of 2025 Wake County are open until February 28. You only have a few days to get your choices in. We hope you will consider nominating us again this year as “Best Local Activist Group” in Wake County
INDY Week, please stop referring to me as anti-development. You refer to me as “Livable Raleigh co-founder Stef Mendell, who ran on an anti-development platform.” This has got to stop. I am not and have never been anti-development. And neither is Livable Raleigh. Let’s try to work together and find reasonable ways to accommodate appropriate development. Labeling individuals or groups as anti-development only furthers polarization.
