Definition of extortion: "the practice of obtaining something, especially money, through force or threats."
The woman is demanding more "affordable units" at a definition of their own making, and unless they get them they are going to oppose the development. You may agree with the extortion but that's what it is.
I however would rather 1032 new units at any price point then zero, but hey I know some here take offense to a such tall structures in DT ottawa, for example a 9 story building on LISGAR st... but the city really shouldn't be proposing that as being the best path forward. The city should not in any sense try to protect the "view" or "feel" of low density detached SFH in the core.
