Part 3 | 4211 Newton: Act Now — How SOHIP Residents Can Make an Impact

After outlining the project facts in Video 1 and explaining what’s at stake for MF-2 zoning in Video 2, we’re releasing Video 3 — “How You Can Help.”
This final video in our series focuses on one thing: what SOHIP residents can do right now as the case moves in front of the Oak Lawn Committee and toward formal zoning review.
This video explains:
- Why immediate action matters now that the developer is presenting to the Oak Lawn Committee
- Who to contact — Commissioner Melissa Kingston, Councilman Paul Ridley, and the Oak Lawn Committee
- How to write an effective email using 1–2 of our fact-based talking points
- Why residents within the 500-ft zone carry extraordinary influence
- How showing up in person on December 2 builds visible community opposition
- Details on the SOHIP Residents-Only Town Hall on December 3
Our message is simple and consistent:
SOHIP is united in opposing this tower-scale up-zoning on an MF-2 block, and we are organizing as a community to protect the scale, safety, and character of our neighborhood.
This is the moment to speak up. This is the moment the city is listening.
