[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]The City doesn’t lack housing. [/b]There are massive condo buildings in west Alexandria and they are not full. If the City was serious they would move on from public housing and provide home buyer assistance.

Image if they had done that 20 years ago. They would have given a generation of families a hand up. But instead the liberals choose the thing that makes them feel good - a hand out. [/quote]

I can't believe people are still insisting there is no housing crisis.

Also, this proposal is about zoning reform, i.e., enabling owners of private property to have more freedom regarding use of their private property. What part of that is a liberal feel-good handout?

No, it's not. SFH will be outlawed/ severely curtailed in areas. That's fewer rights, not more rights.[/quote]

Currently: Only detached single-unit houses allowed
Proposed reform: Detached single-unit houses allowed, AND other housing types ALSO allowed

That's more rights, not fewer rights.[/quote]
