3. Neighbors along 69th Street put up signs that say, “NO to backyard apartment buildings” and “Save Our Neighborhoods.” “They are going to build three two-story buildings behind me for a total of 7 ADU's, plus at the house across the street, they are going to build six. If you look at the 13 units that will be added here, it will be a 33% increase on this block in this area with no accommodation for sewer, water, trash, or parking,” said Eric Rosenzweig, a College area homeowner of 23 years. Some residents have asked the City to reconsider their approval of these units. According to Mayor Todd Gloria, “the City will not be entertaining a request for a moratorium on ADUs.” To learn more: Click into parenthesis, then click the link. (CBS News 8)
