If there are indeed plans to build low income housing (I've heard in the area between Heritage and 90th specifically), the city is going about it in a very sneaky manner.

As for NIMBYism, I actually like it. I think NIMBYism shows that people care about their neighbourhoods and city, and spirited discussion can help alter projects to meet the demands of the people most impacted. This project included. It would look even worse IMO if no one showed up to these town hall meetings.

The old YMCA?
