I think this building was a bit different from typical NIMBY objections that part of Hampden isn't on the street grid and there are only three routes out Falls Cliff, which is 2 ways but only one car at a time, a one-way blind turn on Singer and Keswick, and Chestnut and Falls Rd also only one car at a time. If the building hadn't been proposed as a 78' tall building I don't think it would have been met with as much resistance. The Fox building conversion to apartments went through for example as did the Crittenton development and apartment conversation.
