[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Many houses in Ward 3 have front areas-setbacks. It sounds like the Mayor's Plan allows these houses to be raised and apartment buildings built up to the sidewalk. This would in effect eliminate a lot of green space in the area. [/quote]

Density Bros call that vibrant Urbanism.  Most people call it concrete.[/quote]

"they took paradise and they made it a parking lot..la la"

Except they won't even give adequate parking...[/quote]

You're the one insisting on parking lots.[/quote]

It's beyond funny to pave paradise and not even get a parking lot. Will miss looking at people's beautiful front gardens while strolling, and take walks trapped between apartment facades and circling cars and their  fumes. [/quote]

Let's not exaggerate now. Density Bros and Bras have a way to do all of this without increasing traffic. Hang tight, their explanation will be posted any moment. So far they have said that 'upzoned area is within walking distance to public transportation' so you won't need to own a car and the city will improve walkability and bikeability. So new owners will not want to come with their cars and will sell them at the border.[/quote]

Well, that's a relief as I thought new residents might bring cars. We will hang on to ours so we can drive out to the countryside occasionally and see trees and stuff.[/quote]
