I guess they are single family houses on paper, but in reality they are apartments. Houses with the upstairs, downstairs, and individual rooms being rented.
They probably say something like reduce the size of the 5 story apartment to 3 or 4 stories or make them bigger with less units.
I actually like the way it's designed. The back end of University is parking lot so it blends into the neighborhood much better and eliminates drive ways on a busy one way street.

Aren't 13 of the 17 homes in question currently vacate or abandoned? So the potential loss of homes that are providing housing to local elementary school families seems minimal.
The project isn't just gear to provide housing to the catholic students, it will be open to all students and non students. No different than the housing being done on 32nd ave north.
Forgot to reply way back when...
I agree with all of you that said the neighborhood they want is not coming back. I was just trying to say that the reason they were being so vocal was because this project symbolizes the end of that hope for them. I think they could delude themselves as long as those small houses existed, even though no right-minded young family would want one. Or could afford what the slum lords would want for them. But once those houses come down, it's over. The dream(unrealistic as it is) will be dead. I just wanted to contrast the reasons why this group is upset(probable loss of local elementary school) versus the standard NIMBY protesting of not wanting something different nearby.
All that being said, they need to face facts that the neighborhood they remember is never coming back. Instead of fighting every little thing, they should be pushing for very high density buildings along a narrow corridor along 12th and University with adequate underground parking. Pull students and their cars out of the crappy houses and replace them with better homes to raise the property values and quality of life. Use these big projects to create a fire-break to save something of the neighborhood. By trying to make these projects smaller and smaller, the neighborhood association is actually making things worse in the long-run.
I agree with this. And I don't know how a large multi-unit building like this affects property values but I can't imagine the condition that the rentals were in was doing anything to help them. My guess is Roers/Fargo Diocese/whoever is going to own this complex is going to do more to 'keep up' the condition of the property than someone like Mr. Sabo and the like.
Damn it, guys.
These people's dreams are better than the reality the Catholics and Roers will create.

Vintage homes? That is quite the exaggeration. I am thinking shit hole is a better description
