  1. This is a horrible idea. The area has seen a exponential increase in crime and drug users and this will make the problem even worse. It seems that the city, the city council, and this developer only wish to see the southside become the eastside in terms of crime and declining property values. Nobody in their right mind would see this as a positive for this specific area.

    1. or maybe it will drive those types of people away. If people have a vested interest in where they live they’ll do what they can to keep crime away. The biggest problem with that motel which hopefully will be torn down for this.

    2. What exactly are you expecting them to build next to 465, luxury high rises?

      As Corey pointed out, I doubt that these apartments will be as bad as the Travel Inn, otherwise the neighbors would be up in arms. That area would be markedly improved if the Travel Inn and the Fairbridge were demolished…

    3. Affordable housing is needed to keep our economy viable. There are plenty of good people out there that make $35,000 – $40,000 per year and need housing. Tony A, your comment is extremely out of touch.

    4. Low income does not mean high crime. Current crime needs to be addressed. Are the criminals from the area?

  2. The article indicates that this will be on “acreage which is largely undeveloped” at the southwest corner of Bixler and East St (US-31), and that “the Bethany Early Learning Ministry will stay intact.” So that sounds like the development will be on the empty land behind (west of) Bethany, and that, unfortunately, none of the “problem” motels will be affected.

  3. Vested interest from apartment renters? That is ludicrous. The apartments will be just like all other apartment buildings existing in other suburban areas of Indianoplace. And the site development design will be ho-hum because most, if not all, apartment developers won’t spend the money to design the site to be like something that one would expect to see in Carmel. Just because the housing in the immediate area and adjacent to the southern part of the proposed site is not Carmel-like doesn’t mean the proposed site landscape architectural development, along with the apartment architecture, should be mediocre. I have an inkling though this apartment development proposal will be cheap, just like the hotels that got built down the street. And thus, the apartment residents will not come with the notion of having any vested interest whatsoever. And how about having a renters association who can police the apartment community to keep the riff-raff in line? No, this area will continue to go downhill and do nothing for adjacent property owners’ home values other than drag the values down. This development would never be permitted in Carmel or Meridian-Kessler or Crow’s Nest.
