Why do you have to be able to "maintain quality of life?" How do you define "quality of life?" For whom must this be maintained?

The quality of life for the people who currently have no place in the city to live is pretty bad, building 3000 more units will dramatically improve QoL for them, so a net gain regardless of the negative impact on the 269 existing tenants of Escala, right?

The federal government no longer allows "those solar panels are unsightly" to be considered for quality of life, so there's some progress. This shadow nonsense sounds like it's being rejected, too.

Bring on the developer greed, so long as they don't cut corners.
