NIMBYs remind me of the type of people who write angry reviews on Yelp and Google. In other words, they're the only ones who are usually bored enough to waste their time writing a message and leaving a 1 star review. The people that enjoy things usually don't bother, they just let their money do the talking.
That said...2 supportive voices says a lot: that those of us who are actually in support of projects like this ought to be speaking up in favour of them. When we don't, the NIMBYs are the ones council and the local media hear from and it gives the wider public the impression that densifying is a bad idea.
Of course I did not do that myself as I forgot all about the public meeting lol. But next time, promise!
