Shibaguyz, You have every right to your feelings. On another thread someone said as much too. Everyone wants more density as opposed to urban sprawl. Then when it arrives you have a bunch of NIMBYs. I imagine myself included sometimes. I only disagree with some of the planning (or lack thereof), and some of the cheap developers that put up junk.
And we’re still in our starter home 9 years later. A very neglected rental that made it possible to even get a home. I feel very fortunate to be in Seattle and don’t take it for granted.
We’ve also had many discussions in our house about the benefits of no yard maintenance, so you hopefully won’t hear any attitude from this homeowner. I see a future where your situation is by far more desirable. Right now, my partner is addicted to her table saw so it isn’t really feasible:)
In any case, sorry you have received so much flak.
