So we should still have single family homes downtown then, as that was the original "character of the neighbourhood".
It's a necessary fact that a growing city
needs to change and redevelop. It's not reasonable to live in a growing city and have the expectation that your neighbourhood won't change for the entire span of your life.
Generally, if there is a lot of development around your house, your property value has outpaced the rest of the city and you have enough money to piss off somewhere more like what you originally wanted. I get it, moving sucks, but we've got a lot of people to find homes for as our city is still in rapid growth mode.
