Too Much, Too Fast — Greensboro Needs Balanced, Not Blanket, Housing Solutions
Greensboro is at a crossroads in its approach to affordable housing. While the recent approval of over $6.5 million for new projects aims to expand access, concerns about equitable development cannot be overlooked. Councilwoman Sharon Hightower highlights the risks of concentrating affordable units in underserved areas without essential services. As we strive for a balanced and intentional growth strategy, it’s crucial to ensure that every neighborhood benefits. Join me, Nicky Smith, in advocating for a Greensboro that prioritizes smart growth and inclusivity, where every resident has a fair shot, regardless of their ZIP code.
Greensboro Needs to Slow Down on Rural Expansion
Greensboro has long been a vibrant city, but the rapid expansion into our rural areas threatens the very essence of what makes our community special. As urban development encroaches on peaceful, pastoral landscapes, residents are left grappling with noise, traffic, and overcrowded services. It’s time to pause and listen to the voices of those who cherish their rural way of life. Join me in advocating for a balanced approach to growth that prioritizes sustainability and respects our unique heritage. Together, we can ensure Greensboro thrives without sacrificing the values that define our community.
