Proposed SFU gondola popular, but not among some who’d live under it

This tech is all over the world, but having it in Burnaby, BC is getting some persistent resistance.

The BC mentality wasn't able to stop the Portland_Aerial_Tram from being built.

However, there are still plenty of people that don't like it going over their Portland houses.

So while it could be a great transportation link, not everyone is happy about such urban gondola-trams.
