One of the things we're starting to see in some situations are more vocal urban advocacy components - YIMBYs. Projects like the Maguire dealership proposal for the Waterfront are still roasting on the figurative fire (rightfully so is up to the observer), but projects like 210 Hancock, 201 College and City Centre have received support from some locals, mostly younger 20- and 30-somethings. In a city used to hearing "No", it's a welcome change of pace.
