Sounds good. But wait, I have a life to live. Can’t we do this when I retire? ---

I definitely think you have to retire or be too rich to work, or be a jobless “community activist.” Might need to get to work on that first? But don’t wait too long, or there won’t be any tall buildings left downtown! Only affordable 1 story brick buildings and parking lots. ---

I thought the same, but I met with him recently and I got the impression that he definitely intends for it to be fairly politically involved eventually, more so than WakeUP Wake County. Just not intentionally controversial the way Livable Raleigh is. Not sure if he intends the political involvement to be more “elite” involvement or grassroots. ---

They literally do _nothing_ for the community. What the f\*\*k “activism” can they even claim? Oaks and Spokes and Raleigh United Mutual Aid do infinitely more for the community and have for years… this is absolutely laughable. ---

Other half of the Metropolitan block going for a rezoning up to 40 floors. At one point this was going to be a development led by the nc league of municipalities for their office space and they were looking to add other components for mixed used building(s). ![image](https://d3tmycllq5yp1y.cloudfront.net/original/3X/5/d/5d65d94fc96b4a0d7c9e7ddc361e5d624f5d7292.jpeg) > **[20230508DawsonSt&WJonesSt.pdf](https://cityofraleigh0drupal.blob.core.usgovcloudapi.net/drupal-prod/COR22/20230508DawsonSt&WJonesSt.pdf)** > > 1862.39 KB ---

Not to rain on our parade, but the N&O has a story on the surging sub-let issue with total vacancy in the metro region at about 18%. The article does suggest that the buildings in big trouble are the older, 1980s + suburban ones. Let’s hope this leads to some great redevelopment and doesn’t significantly slow office towers in DTR - though we are already seeing the move towards more housing. Enjoy!

Probably looking to sell after their other plans fell apart, and this would maximize the value. ---

Let’s hope some of the neighbors fight this tooth and nail, I mean where else is Personally Fit going to find a new location in Raleigh? Also take into consideration nothing is 12 stories anywhere close to here, so this can’t continue because the next developer will build 60 stories and shadows. Am I doing this right? Also if I’m the only one to show up and complain, I have the power to stop this right? https://www.google.com/maps/embed?pb=%213m2%212sen%214v0%216m8%211m7%211sXXwCgIs5akrVVDu5N8nq_A%212m2%211d35.7842184%212d-78.649164%213f330.56%214f8.542%215f0.493 ---

I can only hope it passes, I’m not as confident as much anymore. This may have no opposition but my stress-adding district d member who I won’t name will have some excuse to push this or have some insanely affordable housing demand.
