Angry about Connected Communities or Hyde Park –
I hear you — and I get it. Not every vote feels ideal, and these are complex issues. But we can’t let perfection get in the way of real progress. Mark is doing the hard work to move Cincinnati forward, and I believe he’s acting in good faith to make our city more competitive, inclusive, and economically vibrant. There’s also a lot of misinformation circulating, so if you have questions, I’m happy to talk more about what’s actually happening. (Send them to me)
Connected Communities – RAGC supported
[Background] Some Cincinnati residents are upset that City Council passed the Connected Communities plan because they feel it was rushed through without enough community input or consideration for neighborhood character. Critics worry it could lead to increased density without adequate infrastructure, parking, or protections against displacement. Others believe the policy favors developers over residents and fear it could change the fabric of historic or single-family neighborhoods. There’s also frustration over what some see as a lack of transparency and responsiveness from elected officials.
Hyde Park – RAGC did not take a stance
[Background] Hyde Park residents are furious with Cincinnati City Council for approving a zoning change on April 23, 2025 that allows a massive 80‑foot mixed‑use development—far taller than the neighborhood’s traditional 50‑foot scale—without meaningful community collaboration. The project, led by PLK Communities, includes a hotel, apartments, retail and an underground garage, which locals argue overwhelms the historic character of Hyde Park Square and raises concerns around traffic, parking, and neighborhood integrity. Many residents feel their input was ignored—despite hundreds of emails and public comments opposing the plan, council voted 7–2 in favor, prompting calls for a voter referendum to overturn the decision. The backlash has also included a legal injunction halting parts of the project and political warnings that the vote could cost council members their seats.
