Without the economic foundation the plans don't work, regardless of how happy they make people at public consultations.

I found it very interesting because in one example; it was a project I dealt with. They didn't put it in to be mean, it was a great example of how NIMBY's really could effect the project and so a 20 storey building got shrunk to 12 stories. The costs really went up per unit.
