Sorry, that argument died years ago.
People want condos, yet that's not stopping NIMBY groups from opposing them.
Compare the sale price per sq foot in walkable urban hoods vs. sprawl hoods and you'll see what people actually want.
No 1980's sprawl development should ever be built again. All new greenfields should mimic Westdale Village or Downtown Dundas. Cities all over N America are building new suburbs like this. Hamilton is one of the last ones to cling to this sprawled out mess with 100% car dependancy and big box stores.
I'm all for new developments, but with improvements to design that are commonplace elsewhere.
If NIMBY groups are looking for a cause, they should focus on these car-dependent developments, not urban condo projects.
