Absolutely. It's a cultural and intellectual issue. NIMBYs are more like the clowns around Victoria Park that managed to block a development on Mill Street because they don't like tall buildings. Preserving historically significant buildings is actually a great thing. It doesn't seem like anyone has objected to this condo development, they're just saying hey please save as much of the original building as possible - and indeed Momentum should try to do so. In 100 years, this condo won't matter, but the building it's on top of will.
