Anarchy Hermit🏴☠️ :
That’s good bc Plainfield has absolutely horrible zoning rules for homeowners. My mistake for not reading up on that before moving there.

They don't have the infrastructure for water for more homes. our water bills are out of control forcing us to use less.

📌 West Michigan needs more housing, but where and how we build it matters. Do you think changes like these are a good way to accommodate future growth?

I lost IQ points just listening to board members robin ellerthorpe and Brian Justema speak about development at a recent planning commission meeting. The former was barely able to get out an organized thought, and the latter was so incredibly desperate to be noticed and be relevant politically at metro and state level he would literally approve any proposal in front of him to appease biggger name developers. This is a once in a generation opportunity to get this growth and development right, and we have the wrong people leading the charge.

This needs to stop! We already have the second highest population in the State. We (the greater GR area) don’t need more!

And what about the hazardous drinking water in Plainfield Township? Oh, and the water rates we have because of this horrible township board. We pay for poisonous arsenic, water that continues to kill us all slowly.
