There is no question there are many reasons to live in the center of town, but, what kind of housing will the developer who built Oriole Landing provide? Is it affordable if the rent is between $4,000-$8,000? It is wonderful that people who live in the center of town can get to do all of the activities without having to pull their car out of the driveway but what about the rest of the people who have to drive through the center of town? I reminded my friend who lives in another part of town how she had to avoid the traffic on Lincoln Road when she had to drive her daughter to LS. I was told that people who live on Codman and Lincoln Road approach the HCAWG to want to sell their house to the developer for redevelopment. Frankly, I don’t blame them if they were getting a huge financial gain. One of the neighbors found out his house is not qualified to build on and he said he will now have to put up living next to an apartment building and put up with the construction.
All of Lincoln’s housing development was neatly tucked away in different parts of town. A high density development on Codman and Lincoln Road will definitely increase congestion in that area and that is the concern for many! Nothing wrong with developers except the main objective for a developer is to make money! Oriole Landing is a prime example! We all live in Lincoln for many of the same reasons and we hope everyone's children and children’s children will get to enjoy the Lincoln we come to know and love!
