I am not really sure the root cause of this poor performance is. I don't know if it's that they're too busy and understaffed, that they are disorganized, or that they create problems for themselves. Maybe it's all 3. Stuff like Jazz and the 5 month delay for Fenwick just makes me shake my head, and the NSLC is the kind of thing that seems obvious to look at but you know it'll sit there for a while.
As I've said before, when I spent some time in other cities like Toronto and Vancouver I was amazed at how things just get done. Everything in Halifax feels like a trainwreck with months or years of bureaucratic delays. Here in Vancouver it's not uncommon for a private developer or the government to announce a major project, begin work within a couple of months, and complete it on schedule.
