'It's just going to ruin our life' | Large mixed-use apartments could be new reality for North Austin neighborhood

I know this will sound callous of me, but fuck this NIMBY bullshit, and also KVUE for promoting it. This apartment complex is going up a 60 second walk from the Highland Station on the Red Line. Throw a rock and you can hit both Airport Blvd and 2222. This is the geographical center of Austin near some of the busiest intersections in the city. It's not reasonable to expect the vacant lot behind your house will stay that way.

No balconies or windows facing single-family homes

Sure, it'll suck for those few houses next to this lot, and also we can't let a handful of single family homeowners in the center of the city prevent dense urban infill development
