[Q It all comes down to people who live in the area not wanting change and getting too much attention for it.
Hopefully it'll go through at 25 and we can move on.[/QUOTE]
The Haivens live in Schmidtville, Alan Ruffman lives in Fergusons Cove, Mike Bradfield lives close to Dal. Regular speakers at any 'tall' development hearing.
I prefer to speak only to a development close to where I live. I stayed away from the King's Wharf hearings.
Not many of the speakers were from the immediate area and the opinion of the Quinpool Road merchants organisation seems to have had a significant influence on the outcome. I don't care how much money APL makes, I do care about a good design in such a prominent location. Let Mr Armoyan build 35 or 40 storeys if he wants to take a gamble. Or perhaps he can buy up the rest of that block and build the 7-8 storey Parisian boulevards favoured by Bradfield et al.
