My favourite quotes:
Quote:
will make an already difficult parking sitation on Spring Garden much, much worse. This will cause greatly decreased shopping traffic [...] resulting in decreased GST and the shuttering of shops and restaurants in the district.

No, there were no typos in the transcribing of that one
Quote:
If Dexel had similar concerns for its future inhabitants, they would not create ghetto conditions, devoid of light, privacy, and decency.

The density created by the proposed development [...] has to be negative. The previously secure balconies on the third floor are now to become an almost irresistible crime scene. [...] If the proposed development takes place, we will survive only at the cost of surrendering our personal security.

Some legitimate concerns, but mostly a load of alarmist silliness and subjective opinion presented as fact. Personally I like the density and the prospect of an entrance and people on Birmingham Street, where currently there is only a loading dock for Pete's and a big blank wall. Legally speaking, I think all the blather about "privacy infringement" is total BS.
