"The neighbors are unhappy" The wonderful neighbors won't accept anything being built in "their community" that isn't a soup kitchen or a community garden and consider condos to be literally genocide.
Imagine being Jono, taking all the financial risk, having "the community" taking shots at you and grandstanding against you, having every poverty pimp putting their hands into your pockets. Halifax has been dicking Jono around for years, wasting his time and money. Socialist welfare state machine politics at it's finest. What a quagmire.

You’re delusional. Shaken down?? JONO paid less than market value for the site. He paid less than 1 mil per acre while BANC paid 11 mil per acre for st pats on quinpool. The site is profitable as is with its 4 storey height limit. JONO wants 30 storeys that would effectively give JONO an additional $25 mil or more value. If he wants a huge lift on the land you think it should be given to him for free? Come on. That’s just stupid.
