Mega-corp didnt have problems with getting approval (and a healthy cash grant to build it) for the exact same application. I wonder what they did differently?

Simple: they actually benefit from the status quo. If only a very limited land supply is available for densification (say like maybe 5% of the city) then that land supply is fairly easy for a few players to corner.

And they "left" a Cadillac with $200,000 cash in the boot on the driveway of the person making the planning decisions.
