Typical NIMBY bullshit. I hope it gets approved and while the city has been better at approving things, I could also see this still being at risk as it's not a centrally located development.
In any case, just one more reminder why we're still not yet to be taken seriously as a city/region yet. If this was somewhere more important, these generic NIMBY concerns wouldn't even be entertained because the council would know that none of these concerns matter in the larger picture. Like, what qualifications does a "singer-songwriter" living in an apartment have that allows her to deem a residential development to be "poorly planned"? If this were Toronto or Montreal, these people wouldn't be listened to yet we publish entire articles about their ignorance and derail the development of thousands of homes because of it. It's ridiculous.
