Man, reading the comments on the engagement website...those Windsor Park NIMBYs are gonna make this such a struggle. And unfortunately there is a lot of political/financial power in that neighbourhood. I truly hope Pagnotta has it in them to tough it out.

At least on this EE page the it looks like the majority of the opposition is bringing up decent points for the developer to consider, unlike the "waaaaa too many rental people in our neighborhood!!" comments we've seen for T5M Connect 🙄
 
Though the comments may be portrayed as criticism of the height or something arbitrary like that, the underlying sentiment is ultimately the same. They want their neighbourhood to remain as unaffordable for everyone else as possible. It's that same old sense of entitlement - these people are just a bit better at hiding it.
 
It's just so hilarious(ly sad) that these folks choose to live in a neighborhood adjacent to the largest university within 800 km of any direction--you know, a place where tens of thousands of people from out of the city/province/country attend and/or work at that requires a lot of temporary rental space--then get upset about there being more rental space being built?

I can generally empathize with NIMBYism to a very small extent, but the irony of this seems all but lost on these folks
