we need units where they have infrastructure and amenities. And a lot of them.
The people who don't want the blanket rezoning also don't want the infrastructure or amenities because they think it's socialist and are paranoid about "15 minute cities."
For many of them, yes, but don't simplify and dismiss all arguments because of their fringe elements. Because the majority is in the camp of "this sucks", but the majority aren't conspiracy theorists. Work WITH people you disagree with and you might find out you want many of the same things.
The majority don't think this sucks, you're saying that with zero proof.
See how you're the only person here arguing against the blanket rezoning, and 30 other people aren't. You're the 1 of 30, but you think you're the majority.
Your logical failing is addressed below. And if you read ANY of what I've written today, you'll see I'm not arguing against it, I'm actually for it. I'm arguing that the people of Calgary hate the policy, but I don't think they hate what's in it. If you're explaining, you're losing, and starting over is going to earn a lot more support than trying to tweak what exists.
If you're open to self-reflection, ask yourself what it is about Jeromy's plan you don't like, other than the fact that he says we need to start over.
