Denial means most/all apartments which is also permitted by zoning but lacks the  residents?"  housing diversity defined in survey feedback.  So, based on feedback seen: in yard signs and social media comments, it seems the preferred choice between these two options is a combination oft townhomes and apartments rather than potentially only apartments.
