How far does that go? On one hand, we could suggest that there be no heritage preservation (which would never happen). On the other, I would suggest that while we have one heritage neighbourhood in Waterloo, every neighbourhood organization surrounding UpTown, the heart and core of Waterloo, would want to preserve every building within their association, as well as many outside of it, and restricting everything else immensely. Where is the balance point that actually works well enough for enough people, current and future, and can move forward? Or are we destined to perpetual conflict and the passing by of vast opportunities, not only in built form, but to say "yes, you are welcome here in Waterloo, we have and are making space for you."?
