That’s untrue. It was only approved by the Planning Board. It will next go to the Zoning Board, which will deny the application.

This is from the article you linked to: > One resident who lives more than half a mile away from the proposal said she recently put her home on the market because of the development. > > “This is not why I moved here," said Adele Langie. "I moved here to be in a single-level beautiful area.” > > Developer Building and Land Technology [wants to convert a four-story office building](https://www.stamfordadvocate.com/local/article/stamford-blt-development-long-ridge-road-18705236.php) on the 25-acre site into a multi-unit residential complex. The development would include 618 total parking spaces, spread out over existing surface lots and an underground garage. The project also includes about 9,400 square feet of commercial space. This person is on the other side of Long Ridge Road. The new development will not affect Hunting Lane at all. This isn’t even a single-level home. I wonder what’s really going on here… [https://www.redfin.com/CT/Stamford/16-Hunting-Ln-06902/home/107103521](https://www.redfin.com/CT/Stamford/16-Hunting-Ln-06902/home/107103521) ---

91 Hope Street **“Stamford resident rails against Hope Street townhomes: ‘27 units sound absurd to me’”** This is the headline in The Stamford Advocate. All they do is amplify the yimbys. That’s part of the reason why it’s almost impossible to build anything in Stamford outside of downtown/South End.

The irony is the new development makes their neighborhoods look better and increases the values of their property. But they want to stick with their provincial “small-town” outlook. Sigh.
