"LRTs displace all the poor people"?

[tomh009]

Sticking all the hydro meters and associated paraphernalia onto the street-facing side of the structure certainly makes them look like they should be "affordable"!  Another candidate for my future "Kitchener Urban Esthetic Fail" thread!

I think that can go into  a bigger "Cutting corners in Canadian construction" thread ... so little attention to detail, whether affordable or expensive construction.  I can't say that I'm disappointed because I now expect it, but it really is a sad situation.  Very, very few people care enough to build with attention to details.
