      <description><![CDATA[Mrs Jodi Allemeier, Cape Town, Western Cape, South Africa<p>I am pro-densification for Cape Town - we are a sprawling city making public transport and other services fiscally unsustainable. We also need to address spatial inequality, keeping the poorest the furthest from areas of economic &amp; social amenity.</p>

<p>There are better ways to achieve this, though.<br />
Current developments do not contribute to the public realm - the interface of private to public space with these Rawson developments is notoriously harsh. Fine grain, mixed-use ground floors would contribute to the vibrancy and safety of the area, while also creating spaces for micro-enterprises to thrive, for eg.</p>

<p>We also desperately need a CUMULATIVE traffic impact assessment on ALL of these developments. With property prices increasing in Obs, there is an increase in car ownership in the area. This is causing problems with parking and traffic. These developments must consider the addition of vehicles.</p>

<p>That no inclusionary zoning has been imposed is a forever-lost opportunity to rectify our city&#039;s spatial injustices  - this would ensure social housing or affordability components as we densify along key corridors. Inclusive densification is preferable to this &quot;Rawson-ification&quot;!</p>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Valerie Lambrechts, Observatory, Cape Town, South Africa<p>I believe:<br />
1. Infrastructure [bulk services, water electricity, sewage] will not be able to carry this additional load to the grid<br />
2. Traffic in the area will increase dramatically, and the system is already under huge strain<br />
3. ground floor retail will remain empty for years, as has been proven by other recent developments in the area, obs square, obs gateway, etc and will pose a negative view in the area<br />
4. upgrade of existing [and empty] high density is more advisable and developers should focus their attention on these, to maintain the character of Observatory that is highly sought after and would improve their development<br />
5. greed is driving this development</p>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Ms Rachel Zadok-te Riele, Cape town, Western Cape, South Africa<p>Please don&#039;t let them build a 9 story building that will change the character of the neighborhood. I&#039;m all for students having reasonably priced accommodations, but they will leave in a few years, and we will still be in its shadow. It will kill the neighborhood and the wonderful heritage preserved here. Make the building with no more than four storeys. Why not student pods in the building of 4 storeys like they do in Europe? As many students can be accommodated in small pods. Brett Heron, you&#039;re supposed to protect the community, why isn&#039;t your city council consulting us?</p>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[DR Ezzat Van DER ross, Observatory, W. Cape<p>Protecting some of our past heritage/environments, helps to shape our future heritage. Destroy this, and one soon destroys the roots of a family,a community,a city,a nation,a people. The eye sore of the city soccer stadium in Greenpoint ,is a symbol one the GREED of a few people. Protecting our heritage and character of OBS, isa test of our moral fibre towards this greed. While changes can be welcomed, they need to be sensitive to the long term effects of symbols and structures of greed and insensitivity. Disregard the past of a community,and you destroy the roots of it&#039;s future. Let changes , and CHANGERS, be aware of this behavior, since it will only lead to it/their own destruction in the future. We cannot change the beginning ,but we can help change the outcome. Help us to preserve our OBS heritage.</p>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Ms Thelma Mort, Cape Town, Cape Province<p>The two major problems withdraws development are 1) aesthetic and 2) car parking.<br />
The first issue username Rawsons is abruptness developer, and that this will be another featureless architectural development which will downgrade our city. This development is nor set to be a landmark piece of architecture, well- designed and engaging.<br />
The second is obvious- where wild l the students park their cars? Our public transport arteries are overflowing (do developers take trains or buses ever?) and students actually do have cars.<br />
I consider this a short-sighted and profiteering development which will devalue one of the prettiest and most historic areas of Cape Town, placing stress on the surrounding housing areas by the unresolved car parking issue.<br />
Do note- there are many other ways of resolving the student housing issues.</p>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Mr George Raymer, Cape Town, Western Cape, South Africa<p>I feel that we need to retain the unique character of Observatory at all cost. This proposed building will, in my opinion, negatively impact on the suburb.</p>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Ms Judith Jurgens, Cape Town, Western Cape, South Africa<p>I am appalled at this development being allowed when it is an area of such age and character that the Council often prevents residents from making even small changes to their own properties that would bneither impact on the character of the area or impact negatively on neighbours.</p>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Ms Caitlin Meinert, Cape Town, South Africa<p>Observatory has charm and character like no other suburb in Cape Town. It is a real communtiy, and a development such as the proposed 9 storey building threatens to destroy it and all that it&#039;s current community members live about it.</p>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[MUFFIE WELCH, CAPE TOWN<p>I am totally opposed to this development until there is appropriate consultation with the community.  Any building needs to be in keeping with the character of the neighborhood and the environmental impact of a construction, as well as that of the increase in residents and traffic, needs to be very carefully considered.</p>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Mr Pieter Blake, Observatory, Western Cape<p>Hi</p>

<p>it would be great if the City would have a meeting with residence regarding the building, as it will affect property prices and living standards.</p>

<p>thank ou</p>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Ms Naomi Suzane, Observatory, Cape town, South Africa<p>The population density in Obs is already high, given the number of students in the area. Further high density buildings will crowd the resources and change the quant character of Obs.</p>]]></description>
