I personally think this project is fine but this open house ad stokes my deep rooted cynicism too much to take it more seriously than a PR cover-up disguised as community feedback. They pay an outside firm to hand out flyers and host an event at 5pm on a weekday that few working class people can make it to. They show a Google Maps screenshot instead of the then-available rendering of the proposed 24 storey building. When the criticism mounts they will bring up the results of this meeting showing lack of vocal opposition and cast the opponents as the usual suspects, NIBMYs and special interests. Hope it works out for them.
