Agreed, which is why it should be a political decision, not a legal one.

Building density around transit stations seems quite reasonable to me.

Agreed. The question is to what extent?

Protesting the construction of tall buildings simply because one does not like tall buildings is not reasonable (i.e. as per the comments in Appendix A of the "As we heard it" report above).

Also agreed. However you can't just let developers build whatever they want under the guise of progress is good. One needs to evaluate what fits in with the neighbourhood currently and, more importantly, what is the vision for the neighbourhood for the future. One also has to see if the infrastructure supports the development (and the overall plan). That stretch of Richmond Rd is only 2 lanes. Since not everyone will be taking LRT and there will need to be trucks and buses using the road, so consideration of how the road can be widened to 4 lanes while keeping reasonable sidewalks should be considered (and not just steal it all from the green space between Byron and Richmond). This plan assumes Richmond remains 2 lanes.
