He then followed that up with this:"I’ve heard from some residents that they don’t understand why Bexley cares about affordable housing, and that they’re concerned that we’re going to negatively impact our community by working on better housing options for our lower-income residents." According to testimony from a February 2021 zoning and planning board meeting, residents cited concerns about traffic, parking, trash removal, that it would overlook homes, and that it didn't meet Bexley's requirements to be granted.
