I understand that the privileged bring their privilege with them and do not hesitate to exercise it. I find that perfectly normal. In terms of the direct neighbours fending off a rather massive wall abutting their backyards, I was even somewhat sympathetic to this specific challenge, although I'm glad that a satisfactory compromise was reached.Yeah I can understand the the direct neighbours being concerned about a development in there back yard. and I do have sympathy. I do question if the direct neighbours were the people that took this to the LPAT. The person I spoke with lived in the " neighborhood" but nowhere near this development. I am also glad all that was compromised was a floor reduction/ no parking garage.
