They're just grandstanding because they know the people that vote are the cranky NIMBYs. Most people don't care about these things, and unfortunately, most people don't vote. The city council people are the worst. A single council member can stop a project in his (or her) district that has to go through review because all of the other council members will back them. You back me, I'll back you when its your turn, etc. But it sounds like this will be a discretionary approval by City Planning, meaning no public review. We'll see.
