Or, what kind of outreach within a community could a developer do before making a proposal in order to get the community on their side? If you promise community space of some sort (a rentable, multipurpose community room perhaps?) or some sort of gathering space outside (eg a restaurant space with patio? Benches for informal gatherings?).
None, are you naive? In Toronto, we have a community ralleying behind a bloody parking lot. There is no proposal that will get "the community" on side. We have it here too, we have midrange rental units being scaled back because of "heritage" claims for a dilapidated unremarkable house surrounded by highrises.
