When you’re shiny, dense and hang out by the beach the Jersey Shore jokes write themselves.
The proposal before city council regarding the redevelopment of the towers at 1600 Beach Ave had its second public hearing last night.
The public outcry stems from the fact that the 133 new units will be rented at 18 to 27 per cent higher than the average rental rate in the area and that rezoning the area on a case-by-case basis would hinder the ongoing development of the West End Community Plan.
Of the dozens of people who registered to speak at last night’s hearing, only a handful were in favour of the proposal.
Of those opposed, their complaints can be read first-hand on the city’s website.
