Sometimes it feels like the CoV est toying with us, ya? I can't stand it anymore. I might just become a monk and live out my days in a quiet abbey.

...interesting how this development got hardly any flack despite replacing a 1911 apartment building and not exactly complimenting the church...
Remember not all that long ago when projects like the Sussex or Juliet or Gateway Green were getting scrutinized to death re: their potential negative impacts on the ~175 foot tall spire of St. Andrew's, even though the cathedral was blocks away? In 2026 we don't care anymore if the new build is smack on Church Row directly across the frickin' street from a heritage church, and we sure don't seem to care what the new build looks like.

Dare I say it, but using churches and cathedrals as anti-development ploys seems to be out of fashion nowadays. See the Fairfield church for the most extreme proof of this.
