I live fairly close to this and am OK with this. This is close to the Allan ION station (About 300m), and call BS on his parking argument. It sounds like he is grasping at straws to stop this.

Speaking of this area, I noticed a sign for a new development that is planned just up the road from this in a vacant lot (63 Union E) for 4 stacked townhouses. Not sure if it was mentioned or not.

I dunno....I think it's a fundamental thing. Some people just don't even comprehend the concept of living without a car. But it is exhausting to hear "oh, but the traffic, also build more parking"...it's enough to drive people mad.

Reporters like Outhit do their best to push the ignorant narrative though, that is no help.
