Nancy Federico, 77, has lived at her apartment on La Playa Street, behind the motel, for 43 years and has an ocean view. When the building goes up, she won’t be able to see the ocean anymore.
“I moved here for that view,” said Federico. “I pay for that view, and then you want to take it away from me and give it to somebody else? How are you going to compensate me? You’ve got to compensate me, or do I have to file a lawsuit?”
The lawsuit counter is that way, ma’am.
In my area they just finished a bunch of low income duplexes in a utilitarian metal building style. Not necessarily a bunch of pushback, but there’s loads of negativity over the look and style; purely superficial shit.
I find it funny because those low income metal buildings are gonna outlast the quarter to half a million dollar groverhaus communities that are popping up everywhere here.
