The commenters on that article are just out there.<br /><br />I suspect some of those nuts would even oppose replacing surface parking lots or auto-oriented businesses like car lots or gas stations with a 6 story apartment buildings.<br /><br />As to the article I find it amusing to see Seattle's zoning for 75 foot wood frame structures being held up as some sort of a model. They are somewhat hated here as being boring, ugly, and too cookie cutter. On the other hand most of the critics are trying to find ways of getting better buildings with the same or greater density rather than saying "not one single square foot of new construction".
