Of course they support it - it's not in their backyard. Swap out the church and the theater and put that proposal on Arch St. and see how quickly those NIMBYs are suddenly against it. It just goes to show how idiotic these people are. A good project is only good if it's not in their neighborhood. The same argument that 19th and Arch isn't the business district could theoretically be argued by those in the 19th and Chestnut vicinity. Of course you and I would say that both definitions of the CBD are ridiculous.
That said, I am certain that any NIMBY presence will be silenced here. FOB has seen too many proposals come and go. There are holding on this one for dear life as it is the most viable.
