I would add that overreach is a thing and it alienates many of us who are not fundamentally against greater density. Perfect example: the developer is planning a seven story structure to replace the current Albertsons property across from the pool. That's seven stories from the alley at the back of the inclined lot which means more like eight or nine from the sidewalk. And it will occupy the entire space, shoe-horning itself up against the relatively affordable three story apartment buildings on either side. At the first public meeting when asked why they were going so big their exact words were "because we can". So, yeah: even reasonable, progressive people get bent out of shape.
