Global News ran a story about how a neighbourhood in Toronto wants to save a parking lot from becoming affordable housing, with one local resident even describing the parking lot as "the heart of our community". This NIMBY shit exists everywhere.

It does, and imho people need to chill about it.   Change is disruptive for some people, but as long as they feel they've been heard, the project will likely go ahead much as proposed (or maybe improved).  The month delay gives time to sort out the details of the heritage element.  It also gives time for the woman who's mental health is being damaged to get some counselling ...

I'm not sure I'd want to live in a city where major developments didn't give rise to public discussion, pro and con.
