And to the surprise of no one who's paying attention, Troster takes issue with the height of the building, among other things. Is it really so hard to ask for a Urban "Progressive" councilor that isn't a hypocrite.

I think when it comes to whole city planning and outside their wards they can be progressive etc. But from a purely democratic health standpoint councilors should represent their constituents on local issues.
I would prefer if they changed their language a bit and made it more obvious that the concerns are of citizens not necessarily their office, but if a councilor doesn't represent constituents at all we shouldn't bother with council and just hand over the whole of planning power to the bureaucrats and technocrats.
