If anything, they should support this development. More people living in this area will mean they’ll have more of a community. They may even get a restaurant or coffee shop open nearby they could walk to.

You hit the nail on the head! "why apartment dwellers feel they have any right to oppose another apartment development." There is a problem I'm seeing, even people who don't have any investment in the area can complain and halt development. Now, the recent apartment proposal in Sherwood is opposed by a wide range of complaints. It's time to put a stop to these repetitive complaints and move forward to the more important agenda, and that is getting homes for the citizens of Charlottetown.
