The community seems to oppose this mainly because:
Not enough parking
Taking green space away
It's geared towards students
Building is too tall
Wind/Sun issue
Each owner in this building would get a parking spot, yet how many students you know that live nearby McMaster drive to McMaster? The parking ratio is higher for this proposal than the 100 Main St W building.
The land is currently zoned commercial and not green space.
Not all students are bad and unruly.
The community seems to support a 7 storey building and it looks like the setback on this building is at the 7th floor. A good compromise to me.
The proposed building is surrounded by a candy factory, warehouses and retail.
