During a recent government meeting, community member Kristen Bliss expressed her concerns regarding proposed housing developments in her neighborhood. Bliss, a resident of the area for 30 years, highlighted that the block where a new development is planned currently has 34 houses. She noted that an additional development on Cowley Street will add 29 more houses, while the new proposal will introduce 21 more homes to the already densely populated area.

Bliss's testimony underscores the growing concern among residents about the impact of increased housing density on their community. The meeting served as a platform for local voices to be heard regarding the implications of such developments on neighborhood dynamics and infrastructure.
