## Resource

Clovis is moving forward with a bold plan to rezone 20 underused spots for new housing, aiming to meet a court-ordered mandate of over 1,300 new homes — but residents are flooding city halls with objections, demanding more time to voice concerns. Frustration runs high as homeowners fear loss of privacy, rising crime, and the erosion of neighborhood character. Meanwhile, the city is also considering loosening design rules — slashing parking, eliminating play areas, and cutting open-space requirements — making apartment construction easier. And while promises of vibrant commercial spaces have gone unfulfilled, replaced by fast food and low-end retail, the push for density continues, sparking a heated debate over what kind of city residents want to live in.
