Surely they can find a better site to build a condominium than slap bang next to a place of such significance.

Yes, they did find a better site. As the article says, they found a place several hundred metres to the west.

hahah...walk past this cafe everyday and rarely see more than a few people in it.

Maybe that's why they're advertising here.

‘‘Smokers also hate smoke from other smokers,’’

If that's true, they (generally, of course) are even more pig-headed and inconsiderate than I thought!
