I’m not so sure they’re correctly characterized as NIMBYs, and I really don’t think they won. A single floor was taken off, but if height was their biggest concern I wouldn’t call that a victory. I think they were concerned about increased traffic on their street. As someone else noted, the result of their opposition was that there are actually more units, and fewer that could accommodate children. That’s sad: the area is a “family neighbourhood,” right next to an elementary school. Fewer, larger units that could accommodate families would probably have served their neighbourhood better. It is a bit ironic that their resistance will probably mean more single adults with a car each, and fewer children to play on the street and walk to King Edward.
