I think that when people have only weak objections to something, they tend to try to come up with all sorts of other objections to try to strengthen the case, and some of those end up being completely off point or irrelevant. In this case, traffic, privacy, or view are considerations that could give rise to legitimate complaints; but with this specific development they are actually quite weak, and I think on some level the existing residents understand that these are actually weak objections. So they add in other totally irrelevant stuff like whether the complainant would want to live there.Sorry Ijmorlan, my comment was meant to be directed at mcparkhil, not you....
No problem! I wasn’t sure what you were getting at, but now I understand. Just to be clear I was talking about the same person. You’re right to ask for some sort of factual backup for the concerns raised. For myself there are locations near me that I expect will see some significant redevelopment over the next few years and decades, and mostly I’m looking forward to seeing how the city evolves, even if some of what happens is not my personal top choice.
