It's almost like they had a neighbourhood meeting and just blindly pulled strips of paper out of a hat marked "Generic NIMBY Complaints".
Well, given the size of the proposal, it's more likely that any residents would just not own cars!
What character? It's already the same thing...low rise houses.
Annnnnd there we go, everybody's favourite flawed, classist NIMBY logic: some people with little money commit crime, therefore, all people with little money must be criminals. Assholes.
Improvements in neighbourhoods generally don't lower property values. Especially when proposals include connecting city roads to each other, building multi-use trails, building soundwalls so you don't hear the industrial businesses as much. None of these people even bother to think critically here, they just go NIMBY mode.
Grow a spine and tell these people they're wrong, Andrew Pinnell.
Overall, these are the most generic complaints they could have come up with. What a load of nonsense.
