I’m just here to see whether the Justin’s traffic jam folks are going to freak out even when the plan is this mild…[/quote]

Wow. "Massive" apparently means "a few tweaks here and there." Who knew![/quote]

No one following the issue apparently (on both sides!). [b]Both the city and council made it sound like a significant revamp was needed to resolve the housing crisis[/b]. Are you making fun of constituents for responding to what they were told?

Also, as with the bonus height density proposal, the devil may still be in the details.  Developers are very good about finding loopholes and pushing the limits of what is allowable (see: every McMansion in ALX that uses FAR exclusions to build massive homes). [/quote]

A significant revamp [u]is[/u] needed, to address the housing crisis. This is not a significant revamp.[/quote]

There is no housing crisis. It's manufactured problem for political goals. 
[b]
The west end is full of dense, high rise buildings that are at 50% capacity.[/b] How anyone can scream crisis when they are literally hundreds and hundreds of vacant units right now is all the proof you need that this isn't about housing.[/quote]

You don't say.[/quote]
