If you grew up in this area, this list of names will quite clearly resonate with you. If you didn't, picture every important news person from your hometown coming together to speak up.

Charlotte is way less left-coded, than LA/DC/Chicago/Portland. I feel like that could make the govt terror even more fraught for the average American.
Gregory Bovino, the top Border Patrol official leading the charge on the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown in cities, and his officers are heading to Charlotte, according to a source familiar with the planning. That was news to city officials. https://cnn.it/49crpZT

This blows. Not only are we losing a 130-year-old church, but in return we're getting just four homes on a site that's almost half an acre and only a 10 min walk to the Blue line.
The underlying zoning is RS-3, and it's just a lot easier to build SFHs by right than contend with a rezoning.
