I think for a lot of people it's about change. They're happy with the way things are, and don't see any need for anything in their local environment to evolve.

I get that. Change isn't easy.

But the fear of what that change may bring might be the core issue. And there has been much negative change in this city, and that may enhance the fear.

City planning is trying to balance the growth with the opinions of those most affected by the growth. Also not easy.

This alteration in the proposal may seem like a step backward for many of us tuned in to this forum, but is may also be a good compromise, and lead to more compromises in future proposals.
