If they wanted to control that property, maybe they should have purchased it? I can’t believe that we are now at a place where the NIMBYs golf courses are triggered by development that’s next to them.

I could see this argument potentially working along one of the FTDO corridors that indeed has nonexistent transit, notably the Beltline-adjacent one (Northbrook, St. Albans, Highwoods, etc.).
But RCC is bounded by the #15 and #19, which both run 4X/hour – putting them in the top tier of GoRaleigh routes by frequency.

They should be glad that this one is gonna be “cottages” and just get over it.

I made it over there for a beer but my son was too rambunctious to stay. Ryan said the corner towards the patio will have a pool table eventually. Nice to have a new neighborhood bar

I was surprised to see many cars there last night on my way downtown. But I wasn’t sure because it looked like they didn’t even a sign up yet, or any other obvious indicators that it was an open business. Interesting.
