Like I have said before, you can be in favour of these things and it doesn’t mean every project is a good idea. The issue here has nothing to do with density. There are towers like 3 blocks away, townhouses and rowhouses across the street and all kinds of housing aside from single family homes around here. There’s no issue with that because the infrastructure has been modified and upgraded to make it work. That can’t be done with that parcel of land.

I get it. Projects near you are bad projects and projects in areas where you don't go are good projects.
The thing is residents near any proposed development have a "lived experience" that tells them it's not suitable. So how can we trust that "evidence" when making decisions? How do I trust your opinion over the person complaining on the news about every other development?
And don't worry, my street was subject of a rant here earlier about how backed up traffic gets. I'm familiar with the hassle.
