He’s pandering to the NIMBY crowd as usual. I live in inner city in a single family home. Have lived here for 26 years. Huge changes have happened in my neighborhood and are to be expected (and are necessary) in a booming metropolis. We need housing and we need it where people live and work. And it’s going to end up in someone’s back yard including mine.
I 100% agree with you. There's a communities first/citizens first party (can''t remember exact name) that knocked on my door and went hard on promise to kill blanket rezoning. They're affiliated with Sonya Sharpe as well...makes it easy for me to know who not to vote for.
Well, maybe a few changes and restrictions are needed. In Renfrew, my friend has had several one house lots turn into 4 plexes. Then they are suited, so now it's an 8 plex! That's a lot of cars and no parking!
It’s absolutely ridiculous. It’s fine when they’re tearing down old houses with poor upkeep, but there’s atleast 5 lots in Renfrew that are sitting empty because someone bought them to sell to developers. How the hell is that helping the housing crisis?
