Thanks for going to the meeting and reporting back, eizenstriet.
I really hope the City of Waterloo does the right thing with this one. As you have noted, this is right by an LRT station. If the system is going to work well, we need density around the stations: that's why we are spending a billion dollars on it. We need density here.
As usual, I can understand some of the concerns being raised, but a lot less so in the case of the residents of the other recent condo developments. Are they just trying to close the door behind them so their units maintain their value? It doesn't seem realistic to move into a brand-new development in an area like this, and then expect that there will not be further development.
