I was thinking the same thing. The fact that the reaction is this strong to the vision statement for the property, not an actual proposal, is striking.
Do owners really think that living next to a crumbling, polluted, potential fire hazard of a site is adding more value to their properties than a cleaned and redeveloped site?
Why bother living in the city at all? If you value peace and quiet, uninterrupted vistas, and no traffic, pedestrian or otherwise, why live in the heart of the city? Sounds like living in the country would be more appealing.
