Honestly though, when King Street in UpTown right next to an LRT stop is considered an "established neighbourhood", we might as well just say that UpTown is not open for business, as the entirety of it is an "established neighbourhood" that we should be ashamed to think of changing.
It's funny, too, that in changing from ~100 two bedrooms units to just a handful, the neighbourhood will see the mix of new tenants (possibly) go from an original 100 single bedrooms (more likely to be shorter term rentals to students, young professionals) and 200 multi-bedrooms (more likely to be longer term rentals/owner-occupied to/by couples, families, retirees), and now that 100/200 mix is more like 200/20, which I would think anyone at the meeting, when asked about those two options, would pick the original one.
