I don’t understand why people are upset at this? It’s a step to affordable housing. I’ve seen so many people complain about the lack of multi family homes but when something like this happens they also complain. Like what?

This isn’t my outlook at all but people are probably mad because it’s in Manchester. Seems to be an idea in this state that people who live in cities like Manchester, Nashua or Portsmouth are scum and building affordable housing will attract more scum. These same people would also most likely laud an affordable housing plan in a smaller or rural town.

The reason why Manchester is bad is because of the sprawl (among other things). Multi-story apartment buildings are what it needs, and more of them.

NIMBYs gonna NIMBY. I’m pretty sure it’s not the same people. You have one group that wants more dense housing. There’s another group who wants everyone under 40 who isn’t an engineer to live in a tent, own nothing, and be happy. No hypocrisy. Just two groups who will never see eye to eye until the day they die.
