12 unit condo "too much" for Crescentwood, Winnipeg?

I'm generally not a fan of developer lobbying (especially if it's in favour of lower fees or outer suburban development) but this EPC/City Centre Committee decision seems bad. Denser development in central neighbourhoods seems exactly what Winnipeg needs.
I'm no fan of developers, but the discourse of the opponents cited is nimby and anti-environmental. That is a low-rise, and more are needed to ensure efficiency of public transport, and walkability.
i love the part where he's like "build it in osborne"...hhaha yeah, osborne needs another condo...this is typical nimby'ism...it's 12 units, not a tall building comparatively and it's not like the neighbourhood is even close to density issues...
