given that my experience over the last two years with Cities Skylines has led to Youtube feeding me a steady diet of urbanism videos

So you're probably in the top 1% most yimby people in the US. Have you thought about how much deep seated propaganda was required to make you still feel a knee jerk rejection to this? It's pretty mind blowing. It's not about reason or education or even emotion. You were raised to think nimby, it's in your nature, and you can't control it.

Now with that out of the way, you can stop listening to the fear and jusg look at the actual facts. Look at the actual plan and the actual data behind housing and traffic patterns, and follow that.

Maybe watch 1 or 2 more videos on induced demand since you described a perfect example of the concept, but you missed the implications.

728 new residences -- about one-third apartment and the rest town homes

This seems wrong though, unless the green part is crazy huge. That's almost 500 townhouses. It would make sense with apartments cuz you can have 500-1000 in one building, but townhouses developments are usually like 80 units.
