The people against the development are full of reasons and attitude, but they should put up and help the churches and neighbourhood or shut up.

Whoa. I think that's more than a little on the harsh, judgmental side. So far as I know, old people still enjoy the same rights as the young, including the right to express their opinions.
Personally, I'm in favour of the condo development but that doesn't mean that those opposed to it don't have the right to be heard and their opinions considered regardless of their age. As for putting up and helping the churches, I 'd be very surprised if most of the parishioners of St. John's Cathedral weren't opposed to the development. By attending and donating , they are supporting their church. Also, it sounds as though the support from Knox isn't exactly unanimous, either.
Yeah, I had some time on my hands, so decided to respond...
