Sounds to me like this property was mismanaged for a long time and tearing it down is the only option. Also sounds like they could have gone a lot bigger with the replacement.
Yeah a small duplex? They are legally allowed up to a triplex with current rule changes. We are in a housing crisis, but you wouldn't know it from stories like this
Yeah I mean it's only one property, but the fact that the neighborhood fought to reduce the footprint of the replacement speaks to a systemic problem of NIMBYism

* Matrix is an open source and potentially distributed chat protocol. The matrix room listed is hosted on matrix.org, a somewhat centralized hub for a lot of currently public rooms. Though the protocol itself is free, libre and open source, the deployment of the protocol resembles a centralized service. This may be fixed in the future with the deployment of independent servers.
