We are simply seeing too many family type neighborhoods disappearing to the suburbs, leaving the city to college kids, or single folks or couples in small condos or apartments or garden homes.

Eliminate all family neighborhoods, and inner city problems will only increase.

The large student population taking over parts of the city do not have long term vested interest in our city, other than just wanting fun bars and restaurants. They come here for 4 years and leave.

Please folks ... lets keep R1 zoning places as they are now ... and encourage more of them instead of less. Our inner city really depends on it.
