This is the other highly telling quote here. The heights are actually allowed on the block, just on the Mall property instead of along Erb (where the development would have value in activating the streetscape).

This development isn't outside of zoning so much as the zoning dates to the "tower in the park" era.

Opposing a development like this lays bare one's biases, it isn't about character or neighbourhood, it's about opposing change, development, and new people.

Crazy that the zoning hasn't been updated
