In our city commission meetings, there are a ton of people (neighbors of proposed developments) advocating against new developments.

Start by crafting a clear and compelling investment proposal that highlights the property's potential, your investment strategy, and projected returns.

Most legal pubs (at least the adjudicated publishers in CA) don't require the proposed exec or admin to provide their mailing address.

I think if a prop is defeated, there should be a minimum number of years before it can be proposed again (I like 5 years).If it passes, jurisdictions that have laws to rent control single family units, that is currently not valid due to Costa Hawkins, will become valid. 

In what way do you propose?

Grant funding can be up to 50% of total project costs of the proposed Development, depending on the need for assistance to create a viable development and adequate eligible project costs.

I believe you'll be fine as long as theres no HOA or local legislation against STR's.

I liked the idea proposed by @Justin Moy regarding offering it as an add on discounted service. 

It should be noted that wholesaling has been regulated pretty strictly in Pennsylvania and wholesalers have to have a real estate license now among other things so there's likely less wholesaling going on in Philadelphia as in other places. https://consolematison.com/2024/06/12/new-legislation-on-res...

How can I design or propose these apartments to meet this requirement while making them functional for long-term residents?
