Very different neighbourhoods (i.e. the residential component of Mill/Ottawa is lower middle/working class). Proposal is literally at an ion station. There may be issues (1500 units may be more that the City is prepared to contemplate; the affordable component seems weak and a public housing component would be a good addition), but I can't see neighbourhood complaints being decisive in this case.
1500 units is peanuts compared what is needed. I can't remember the exact number, but Kitchener is about 40,000+ units behind of what is needed. It would take 20 massive projects like this just to start to clear the backlog of what is needed.
