The area is currently zoned R2 and R2A, meaning 1 and 2 storey residential, as well as low-denisty residential infill. To change it to RM5 (High-Density Multiple Unit dwellings) is a huge change. If the area was already zoned for high-density and people simply didn't like it getting built there, that would be a different matter. But when they are sinking over a million dollars into a home on the understanding that it is in a low density neighbourhood, they have a right to be pissed if the rules are then changed after they've made that investment.

I have to disagree with you as well. NOT in the middle of a neighbourhood.... Less than one block off of Broadway, a few houses down in fact. This is not going to tear apart a neighbourhood, it will help spread density and maybe actually help bring more people to the inner city.
