I'm really annoyed at the nimbyism in this one. This is the textbook classic example of nimbyism.

Wow. That is the textbook classic example of nimbyism.

This one has its own NIMBY opposition group now, complete with website:

This statement speaks volumes:

• The shadowing study is insufficient and downplays the negative effect on homes to the east, north and southeast of the proposed project

CA members become subject matter experts on esoteric subjects seemingly overnight!

It would appear as though the CA would like to eat their cake, have it, and have everyone else's too.

Let's just only infill with single family bungalows to keep everyone happy.... yeesh

Or $900,000 half duplexes, which are the current form of high density in that area.

Sure but as long as they aren't 2 storeys. That is much too tall and may cause a shadow on the neighbour's weeds for 45 minutes during the entire year.

People in the inner city who oppose 5 storey buildings based on height need to move to the suburbs.

That website reads as if it was written with a crayon lol.

In all seriousness, it's so frustrating to see people oppose a project like this. The true meaning of nimbyism.

I was one of the many lined up at Made by Marcus the other day, and was thinking about how great it would be to have this building across the street.

Speaking of which, the decision on the land use is coming up at the end of the month after a public hearing. For anyone who can't attend the hearing, bit wants to voice support, you can do so via the file manager. Here is the link to the Land use submission, under details you can find the file manager contact info. https://developmentmap.calgary.ca/?find=LOC2019-0015

Thanks, i will definitely submit. As a former resident of 19 St a block down, this is perfect scale for the street.

I'm going to send my comments as well. I should let the developer know about this website, iirc another developer had used comments off of this site at their presentation.

What's the problem? Once you get west of 14th hillhurst lacks life, it's boring with the exception of 19th which is on the brink of being a decent retail strip. I mean aren't people shelling out big money for small homes to be near amenities, doesn't this project add to that? Change will happen. What the nimbys fail to recognize is the alternative. Will the lot sit bare for a decade, be home to run down rentals waiting to be torn down, or have something get built that's terrible. This project looks good, adds amenities and will help all of their respective land values, it's idiotic not to support it.

Common sense usually prevails. Any community involvement is good. Many times I've seen ideas implemented from the most intense NIMBYs that has improved development. Let them organize. Let them have their five minutes.
