The NIMBYs won't block this. I wouldnt worry. Mr D will pull out his dusty old shadow studies from 2005, people will whine and bitch and moan, a floor or two will come off, some behind the scenes wheeling and dealing will happen, someone will write a check, and WAM! Approved.
If we have to have this bullshit community approval process over every goddamned highrise planned in the city these days, then fuck transparency. I want corruption in its most heinous, third-world form. Bring in the back room deals and campaign contributions. I'll take that over the alternative: PDNA's dream of a downtown full of "responsible" gated townhouse communities with 3 parking spaces per household.
