Hopefully the podium will calm their nerves a little bit. I've noticed when travelling around that a tower on it's own is way more noticeable than a tower with a podium base - I'm much more likely to notice the podium than I am the tower(s) sticking out of it.

Yah maybe but that area is also quite dense, even with row homes the row homes are absolutely stacked and many have coach houses. So it would be hard to argue density especially with SkyTrain coming which everyone knows you don't have farms next to SkyTrain.
You'll get grumblings about traffic but I don't think it will be too much tbh.
