They reported on the open house in ANS tonight and the comments from the "Friends of Schmidtville" are pretty special. Same old complaints except they seem to have been taken to a new level. There's already a setback but they want a bigger one. It's only 9 storeys but they'd prefer 7 (and I guess it's fine to eliminate the below-market housing). Also it should "fit in" more with the other buildings -- in other words, where are the foam cornices?

Pretty good argument for why we don't need the case-by-case NIMBY critique.
