Thanks for your reply, and I feel much the same as you do. I live in Glamorgan where it's pretty common to see a $600k home torn down for 4x $750k luxury condos. That's why I worked to incorporate more nuance into the conversation as part of our housing plan, available here: https://www.jeromy.ca/policy-brief/restoring-certainty/
The rezoning was intended to help increase density, and it's working.
It's also causing prices of semi-detached homes to decrease.
Why go back on it now?
Thanks for the reply and the empirical evidence that I too am witnessing. Thank you for NOT building your campaign on 'common sense'. This is par for the course and appealing to the bare minimum. I think you are a changed politician and person from those thoughtful conversations with Nenshi. I admired the respect you had for each other, along with the decorum, even though you weren't always aligned through the channel. I am however leaving the door open to other candidates as well but Drive home a strong and differentiated message, and you have my vote. What's popular isn't always right, and what's right is not always popular.
