This issue also relates to housing affordability for a huge number of people in Halifax. If there can be only single family dwellings on the Peninsula then only the comparatively wealthy will get to live on them. Poor people get to pay more money to live farther away and spend more time on the bus. Lower quality of living for all except the lucky few like Sue Uteck who make up 5-10% of the city's population.

NIMBYism can be extremely selfish. We're talking about a community centre for hundreds of people here with housing for dozens of seniors and the handful of residents nearby want to derail this. Most of them probably won't even be very affected aside from the 2-3 houses directly adjacent and perhaps a couple of others that will see less light (mostly the apartment building where probably nobody is complaining).

I also find it pretty sleazy how the CBC keep trying to turn this into some kind of gay-related issue.
