This is not "other cities of the world"... this is Laconia. There is a great need for apartment space. There isn't a huge need for yet even more expensive condominium space. There is also an obviously much lower financial burden to rent an apartment. Everything should not be about the developer! The City should have a balanced approach to development, that seem to have forgotten. If they approve this monstrosity for 5 floors, I hope they make the developer pay for a new ladder truck for the Weirs!
