So true. For example:

“We have no idea if the road network or even the water and sewer system can support this,” said David Jacobs, a member of the steering committee, Communities for Glenmore Landing Preservation.

OK - so traffic I would say is a legitimate concern, though I don't buy the argument "everything will be the exact same as now, which is terrible, but with 3000 more cars!". Access can be changed and improved, and it will be, though I will admit that it is a tricky corner.
But for armchair nimby to start seeding doubt about the water and sewer systems not handling it, as if the professionals hadn't given it any thought? Ridiculous. Your taps will run dry and there will be poop overflowing into the reservoir!
That's why we oppose this!
