Since I moved to Halifax, I feel like I've noticed an unusually large number of locals who seem to think the job of municipal politicians should be to get out of developers' way, rather than hold them to planning standards or reflect their constituents' concerns.

It's certainly a minority, but I don't often hear this, "Oh, the poor developers have to abide by community standards or consider local concerns" talk elsewhere. It's weird.
