A story about this development was on the front page of the Record's website today. The article contains perhaps the most NIMBY comment I have ever seen, and that's saying a lot.
I try to use the principle of charity in viewing other people's arguments, but I find it extremely hard to think of any other reason Mr. Way would make that comment except that these new towers will block his own view from his own condo tower, which itself is built on the corner of a block containing almost exclusively single family homes.
Quote:"It is going to be too high," said Al Way, who lives in a 12-storey condominium tower on the other side of Erb Street. "It will permanently scar that streetscape."
