Reply to comment by Jctexan in Why is planning allowing this building? Eli5 by Jctexan

Yup. I agree with you. I’d get more involved in the city planning process myself. With my 50-60 hour a week job, it makes it difficult to find extra time.

Yup, I do and yes, very hard to parent, work full time, volunteer, and sit in planning meetings, but I will keep on doing just that. It’s really curious why this was approved. The whole thing is so odd. Was really hoping someone had some knowledge I didn’t and it would all make sense.

Maybe the people opposed to it don't represent a significant majority of the population.

Yeah, you might be right…it’s entirely possible, but it’s not the case from what I understood. The councilman (elected by the constituents who live in the area) voted against it based on community input and had been attempting to negotiate with the developer but got outvoted by other wards’ councilpersons.
