Nice little windfall for the NCC, there. That will certainly pay off well for them.

Not only to they get some Westboro condo windfall, they get some LRT TOD windfall as well.

The amount of nimby opposition may be somewhat overstated. For one, both Kitchissippi and I live in the area, and we both support it. Then there's the comments on this post from the WCA in which a number of people actually come out against the nimby position, on the nimbys' own site.
