It’s February 21 2023 and there is still just *1* home for sale in Chapel Hill for middle income buyers

by Stephen WhitlowFebruary 21, 2023

Spring has sprung a bit early in Chapel Hill but so far there are still few homes for sale for middle income buyers. This week’s sole option is an, um, aggressively lived in 2 bedroom, 2.5 bath condo with 1,150 square feet (much of Chapel Hill’s NOAH, naturally occurring affordable housing, is in poor condition […]

5 takeaways from the February 15 Chapel Hill Town Council meeting

by Triangle BlogBlogFebruary 20, 2023February 20, 2023

We have updated this post with a comment from Council Member Amy Ryan. The February 15 town council meeting was so sparsely attended—even the Mayor and the Mayor Pro Tem were absent—that council members joked about it several times.

The headline states “Carrboro’s Public Comment Process at Town Council is Inequitable, and Must Change.” Beneath that is a screenshot of video of a person providing comment at a Carrboro Town Council meeting with text above in red which states “JUST SAY NO to Podium Comments.”

Ugh. Factchecking CHALT (yes, again) on the Legion property

by Triangle BlogBlogDecember 7, 2022December 7, 2022

CHALT sent out a newsletter entitled “URGENT! Town Council to Vote on Legion Park TONIGHT!” earlier today.  That is one super scary headline. It’s also confusing because there’s no such thing as Legion Park (yet).  Moving past the headline, we noticed many errors in this newsletter. We found three in just the first paragraph. Three! […]

Booker Creek Part 2: When the Levee Breaks, Mama, You Got to Move

by Triangle BlogBlogOctober 20, 2022October 21, 2022

This piece was written by Martin Johnson and Stephen Whitlow. In a previous post, we discussed the Booker Creek Working Group, which the Town of Chapel Hill formed in response to neighbors’ opposition to stormwater management basins that would mitigate flooding in the Booker Creek watershed.  Town Council rescinded its approval of the storage basins […]

Let’s take a walking tour of Blue Hill in Chapel Hill

by John ReesAugust 9, 2022August 9, 2022

Each month, NextFwd hosts a happy hour for members to discuss local civic issues in Chapel Hill and Carrboro. In August, before the scheduled happy hour, I led a walking tour through Chapel Hill’s Blue Hill District.  The Blue Hill District – which used to be called the Ephesus Fordham District – is located off […]
