This comment doesn't really reflect Keith's POV though?
Interestingly, SUV ownership is quite high by left-leaning people in Halifax.
Anyway, I think he may be even a bit ambitious to remove the barriers to progress
I had an idea: Is it possible to create a "downtown employment property tax rebate" where property owners would not have to pay a certain percentage based upon the businesses that are their tennats and the amount of FT people they employ.
This way, it would actually hurt owners NOT to have their retail spaces filled and the economic spinoffs for the city would be increased or zero-sum tax income and more people actively coming downtown and working.
