64 <br />Tell Us What You Think: Housing <br />What is your vision for housing in the neighborhood? <br />• Don’t demonize renters – empowered them to be <br />a part of the community. <br />• Diddo. [sic] <br />• Agree – lets choose to change the way we talk <br />about renters. Not everyone can or wants to <br />own a home. People who rent are our neigh- <br />bors and deserve a voice and our respect. <br />• Force banks to maintain their vacant properties. <br />• 20% tax on homes vacant >2 months or where <br />utilities [are] off and AirBNBs and other situations <br />that distort the housing market to inflate prices/ <br />artificially reduce stock, which screws up afford- <br />ability for ownership and renters. <br />• Think about welcoming a retirement home into <br />the neighborhood. <br />• I agree. <br />• Venture capitalists and investors are doing crap- <br />py flips and low quality builds. Stop giving them <br />incentives. <br />• Against tiny houses. All the rest good ideas. <br />• Multi-generational housing, quality and affordable <br />(50-150k). <br />• Fund repairs or incentivize tool library and local, <br />qualified contractors. <br />• Instead of using grants to build one home at a <br />cost of $200k and then selling for $80-90k. Grant <br />money should be used to partner with homeown- <br />ers. Homeowners must match funds and agree to <br />certain renovations. $200 grant - affects 10 homes <br />in NNW Neighborhood. <br />• Diddo [sic] <br />• Tiny houses are a fad. Do not over do. Need stor- <br />age for bikes – off street parking. <br />• Condemn homes on the market that lack utilities <br />and have bad foundations. The housing stock <br />prices are inflated. <br />• <br />Which housing-related topics are most important to <br />you? <br />• High quality single occupant options with access <br />to community and shared amenities. <br />• Smart use/site design of lots to reduce lawn, <br />mange stormwater, encourage solar PV support <br />electric car charging. <br />• Diddo. [sic] <br />• Density step-down from nodes. (Existing commer- <br />cial, busy intersection). Natural to have multi-fami- <br />ly/mixed se next door. <br />• Tiny houses are stupid! We want a family commu- <br />nity. <br />• Rehabilitate existing. Support existing homeown- <br />ers. <br />• Make small businesses in carriage house. Zoning <br />issues residential and commercial. <br />• Affordable housing. <br />Tell Us What You Think: Cottage Court Buildings <br />Take a sticky note and tell us your thoughts on this <br />topic. <br />• They can be noisy. <br />• 6 year old thinks it would be a great place to live <br />because of all the friends! <br />• Exciting opportunity! Co-op model? SB Heritage? <br />• Concept seems neat – should be designed to look <br />old in keeping with n’hood character. <br />• Probably needs at least three lots together. <br />• Its all about the architectural details. Need design <br />guidelines to make it blend with our beautiful <br />historic architecture. <br />• I like this! Environmentally construction/design <br />important. Permanently affordable? <br />• Avoid lawns reduce need for mowing. Use natu- <br />ral landscape or tidy veg. garden beds. Manage <br />stormwater/flooding on site. <br />• Yes! <br />• I’d rather have large condo/apt combo with under- <br />ground parking and nearby neighborhood pool. <br />40 or 20 unit. Balconies. <br />• Should have some green space in center; not just <br />a sidewalk for access (so lower left picture rather <br />than top picture). <br />Tell Us What You Think: Missing Middle Housing in NNN <br />Take a sticky note and tell us your thoughts on this <br />topic. <br />• Architectural character is good should remain not <br />destroying by our present mayor & poor action by <br />Code Enforcement. I know several houses on any <br />block or st. that were destroyed by poor City and <br />NNN dis-interest and failure to work with neigh- <br />bors. <br />• We have a fair amount of missing middle rental <br />housing in NNN – SF homes that were converted <br />to multi-family. We need to make sure that those <br />units are well maintained and an asset to neigh- <br />borhood. <br />• Garages! Families need them! <br />• Senior looking for accessible units on one floor; if <br />multi-level need elevator access to upper floor. <br />• 2-4 plex residential form in any part of interior <br />neighborhood. <br />Tell Us What You Think: Architectural Character in NNN <br />Take a sticky note and tell us your thoughts on this <br />topic. <br />• Beautiful but $$$ to maintain. <br />• It’s a myth that its more cost to do sustainable <br />historic preservation and beauty holds and <br />maintains value. <br />• I like the variety of arch. Styles. Need new constr. <br />To fit in to the block. Also, rehab to respect orig. <br />style. <br />• New const./reno. must be high energy efficiency <br />to provide long term stability re: utilities. <br />• These are all great styles. I’m fine mixing in new <br />modern design construction – seen it in Denver. <br />• SAVE! SAVE! SAVE! Historic Architecture and re - <br />store details. <br />• Incentivize neighbors to remove aluminum or <br />plastic siding on historic homes. <br />• Many houses in NNN area qualify for HPC action. <br />I helped erect landmarks at the Hist. Dists. Dem- <br />olitions should be stopped. Our area has the best <br />housing diversity. <br />• New construction needs to fit in. Don’t do ultra <br />modern this is a modest not super urban neigh- <br />borhood.
