They need to cut down that tree on the left. Look at that dastardly shadow cast across their front yard!
Channels have the ability to shadowban commenters on YouTube so that the commenter and the channel owner are the only ones that can see the comment. They may even be able to do it based off keywords, so âNIMBYâ could have triggered it automatically.
What makes shadows on their neighborhood more important than shadows on other neighborhoods? Creamery tower will be 36 floors. Nobody is scared of those shadows.
Total guess 
so probably just as scientific.

In their view, those people donât matter because they donât live in single family houses.

Thatâs a shadow from the sunset, I believe. Funny thing, you canât really cut down your neighborâs tree nor can you really change anything about the outcome of the parcel next door or across the tracks adjacent to the northern entry corridor for the freaking downtownâŚ..
For the record, my comment on the video:
HOLY FEARMONGERING! Where do I even start with the inaccuracies in this video?
- Somehow shade from a building makes the impacted area nearly a BLACKOUT?
- Youâre picking a very specific time of year (and very short) and a very early time of morning (before most people are out and about and also short period of time) to represent this âDEEP SHADEâ
- You missed the trees that are already blanketing the neighborhood with shade AND blocking the view of these proposed buildings for much of the impacted neighborhood.
- And youâre suggesting this nominal impact to a couple dozen houses should prevent a downtown core, and corridor, from continuing to build dense but instead push residents to suburban sprawl.
- And of course, like other commenters on this video, youâre going to hide or delete mine because it doesnât follow your fearmongering objective.
- Itâs also sad that many of you behind this âLivableâ Raleigh organization consider yourselves progressive and pro-density, yet you hang your hat on every single rezoning project unless itâs on Fayetteville St.
Please, find something to do in your retirement that actually helps our city. And your goal for Raleigh is to go from our current fantastic city to only âlivableâ? That does make more sense given your agenda since serving on the Council of No.

I had that realization after I posted my last comment.
âHow dare these greedy developers deprive me of my precious photons while Iâm at work!â

Thatâs exactly what Iâve been thinking throughout this entire debate. Iâd pay good money to have some shade. Death Valley has nothing on my backyard for 8 months of the year.

)Looks like itâs an offender of deep shade for a majority of the day. Simply unacceptable.

If you havenât already, you should sign up for Liveable Raleighâs email list, itâs worth the laugh.
Anyways, they sent out an email at 5am this morning regarding the fundraiser they held Sept. 7th and patting themselves on the back for getting praise from former Mayor Meeker, but decided to post this picture of him being introduced by this local hero. It doesnât get more Liveable than this:

Meeker is the Mayor that broke through the Paul Coble stranglehold on DTR. He brought back Fayetteville Street and relocated the Convention Center. Sad to see he has now gone âno growthâ, when he started downtownâs revival. The shadows are reaching Boylan Heights, I guess.

He and others in Boylan Heights were clearly instrumental in flattening the Platform/W. Cabarrus development.

You must have one of those fancy phones with very large aperture and small f number to get a pic that bright in the Peace Apt DEEP shadows. 
I canât even imagine owning a home faced with such darkness for dozens of minutes a year.

When I saw this today I immediately thought of the folks living near the new park and worried about shadows. This is a 50 story building the Vue apartment tower in Charlotte at 576 feet tall and this was around 545 pm today with the sun shining on the building and casting this shadow. Obviously something like this depends on the day of the year, the time and only lasts for a short time. That is the Fourth Ward neighborhood part of uptown Charlotte. And of course these homes in the shadow right now at the time of this photo are not in the shadows all day or even hours really.

And thatâs nearly twice as tall as the 30 story rezoning requested. In fact, thatâs taller than anything downtown.
