    Just talked to the developers yesterday. Have sold all but one of the first phase units.
    What is considered phase one?

    The first of 7 units will be the southern row along NW 6th.

    Phase II will be another 7 units directly north.

    Are they going to reconstruct the street and sidewalks?

    How are the pre-sales coming along?

    I believe they only have one unit left out of the 7-unit first phase.

    Work has completely stopped here pending another protest by the same group of neighbors who has fought this project from the outset.

    Although initially approved, some minor modifications prompted further administrative approvals which created another window for protest.

    The latest appeal will be heard by the Board of Adjustment on March 2nd.

    If (when?) the neighbors lose their appeal, I wish the developers could charge them for lost time/money.

    So much bad blood now in SoSA.

    The attorney leading the opposition group lives directly across the street from the developers.

    Did the people already live down there really think no other developments like this would come in? You can't be that naive.

    Go back to Edmond, NIMBYs.

    Hey....I live in Edmond.

    But yeah, it's ridiculous for them to think nothing else would be built here. And it's a good project. NIMBY something that's a bad project, not this.

    Clearly the NIMBY folks aren't just in Edmond anymore.

    I believe there are a lot of people in this city who think this place is a town and that they have more influence than they really do.

    It seems like the mindset gets passed down through families and through certain communities/social circles to the point that when they're smacked with the realization that they don't in fact run the place, they balk.

    I mean, it seems that even the BIG money people (of which probably none live in SoSA) are starting to realize that OKC is growing, and their influence is waining.

    Appeal was dismissed this afternoon so work should start again almost immediately.

    This matter may still end up in court, but for now is moving ahead.

    These are smart people. They knew there wasn't a chance to win it. There is a NIMBY quotient, but after the first rejected appeal their mission has been to inflict pain, delay, and cost on the developer. "Petulant" might be a better adjective.

    If any of these folks read this blog, I'd like to hear their perspective on this. It's easy for us to demonize them for their NIMBYism and write them off as bitter and selfish, but perhaps they could offer their point of view to help us understand. What do these folks want/don't want in their neighborhood? What did they expect would happen when they invested in the area? What kind of development would they like to see in this area?
