Longtime locals, including a mother waiting years for housing, say the site should be for families, not hotels, and warn the historic character of their community is being erased. Activists have even occupied a disused pub to build a community center, turning this into a broader battle for local control. While the city council approved the development with conditions, residents are determined to keep pushing, fearing their neighborhood is being sacrificed for short-term profits.
