I disagree completely. I am on the community association board in Banff Trail and I can confirm that a small group of NIMBYs are fighting development by hitting their firsts on the table and demanding that the city listen to them and only them. The CA never had the power to tell the city what to do with zoning and, to these few people, that means the tyrannical city is ignoring them. A small group of wealthy white people demand that their opinions matter more than others, more news at 11:00!
