It's much older than that. But the NIMBYs don't need a reason to be against it, it's a new tower, and that should be frowned upon, plain and simple.

They're not interested in any type of "affordable housing", or any other amenity the developers could throw at them. They don't want the tower, and would probably go without food if that meant the tower wouldn't be built.
