A controversial 142-unit townhouse development has been approved by council’s planning and environment committee Tuesday afternoon, despite the vocal opposition from neighbours in the area.
“If you approve this request, you’re saying that you don’t care about your current citizens’ privacy or home value, or the ability to safely walk through your neighbourhood. You care more about the potential revenue that these new families will bring to you.” Currently, the only connections from the subdivision to Adelaide and Sunningdale are gravel roads. Paved connections are contingent on the completion of the subdivision.An Ontario city smashed its new housing targets by 250%. But are prices going down?
