    Was there a study made on the light impact on the surronding neighborhood?

    If some people are losing the sunlight for all the day because of a 25 story building, that is a valid objection.

    Otherwise, that is a great project that will give some life back to that neighborhood.

      Thanks

      That’s a crappy answer to a crappy question.

      If you say yes then you’re going to ruin people’s finances, and if you say no you’re going to let the crisis continue. You can’t increase supply without affecting prices, so I agree with increasing supply but doing so effectively will reduce prices, that’s the whole point of increasing supply.

        It's on the north side of the houses and will between the neighbourhood and a highway. If anything it will be quieter after the towers go in.

          Twenty-story highrises? Yeah, I get it. 'Welcome to living in the shadow of a monolith! No sky for you.' Perfectly reasonable for people to say, 'can you not.'

          If they were objecting to four-over-ones, nah, fuck 'em.

          The new buildings will be north of the existing neighbourhood, this is just NIMBY.

            'Oh, did you expect sunlight in the house you could afford? Should've bought ten million in additional property!'

            Be serious.

            It's north of the people complaint don't see how it would effect their sunlight.

              I have not seen NIMBYism taken to this extreme before.

              Like, objecting to a mall I can understand.

              Objecting to green spaces and high-quality neighbourhoods? Like WTF, man?

              It's becauae NIMBY groups are often headed by rich local property owners who don't want affordable housing to bring down the value of their properties.

                Its the same thought process that makes people say things like "I hate wind turbines, they're ugly and ruin the view"

                  Weellll… traditional large wind turbines have a shockingly low effectiveness/cost ratio, which is why they are best used in places where wind is blowing far more frequently than not, such as out in the ocean or on mountain tops. And they aren’t the prettiest. And they have massive space requirements to avoid negatively impacting each other.

                  Honestly, I much prefer solar power, which can be very densely applied and hoisted high enough to permit agriculture beneath it.

                  But yes.

                    Makes sense, I didn't think about the position of Place Versailles next to the highway and the industrial/commercial neighborhood right next to it up north.

                    Then it feels like straight NIMBYism.

                      Didn’t realize the developers were also planning a dome of darkness over the neighborhood
