I would really like it if thoughtful people such as yourself would take on the "Professional" Planners & lazy developers when cities such as mine are reviewing Official Plans. A theme you keep touching on is: "we know how to do this stuff, so why aren't we doing it?". Building sets of high-rise towers surrounded by townhouses that are set off the main street in cul-de-sacs must be the most profitable way to build.
I’m hearing suggestions from residents in several areas undergoing redevelopment projects that we don’t need retail space at street level in every building. There are enough To Let signs on retail spaces in our region to suggest they may be right. How can we best measure the actual need for such space in new projects?
I don’t understand why every condo development with even small family sized units doesn’t have a daycare in the complex.
