A dense cityscape with a “no” symbol over the top of it. It feels like there’s a backlash out there. A lot of Madisonians have always opposed greater densities and taller buildings. That’s nothing new. But recently the intensity of that opposition has grown. Last week Isthmus reported on heated opposition to a west-side development in which residents claimed that the city wasn’t listening to them. The city council, which met deep into the next morning, approved the Old Sauk Road development along with three other projects, including one near the airport that has generated opposition due to noise from F-35 fighter jets.
