Callaghan stated that there may be an increase in tax value, but a decrease in the value to the city and the citizens who live in the area. Callaghan stated that he was against high density housing because it is out of scale with the area, the resulting concentration which would be detrimental to the city, is not consistent with Metropolitan Council projections, and because no study has been completed on the impact of the housing on schools. Callaghan added that there has been insufficient consideration of storm water run-off, including debris and silting problems in the lakes in the area. Callaghan said he would rather see more direct benefit though uses which would create higher value jobs.
