General Urban Waterloo Updates and Rumours
(06-16-2021, 01:47 PM)tomh009 Wrote: Outhit's article on this is actually fairly balanced reporting. He quotes the two neighbours who complained but he also has several quotes from Bonoguore, and also mentions the (unusually reasonable number of) bicycle parking spaces.

Is this sarcasm? Or are we not reading the same article?

He has a single paragraph which invalidates the previous seven paragraphs quoting angry residents, he never quotes one expert, or discusses the developer's reasons, or even mentions that people might not have to own a car.  If you read that article, your takeaway would be that there is not enough parking.

I mean, unless you're saying that Outhit has done worse, which maybe he has, and it lacks any explicit inflammatory language (outside the headline which Outhit presumably did not write), but this could have been vastly better, in my opinion. Journalists are supposed to report the facts in their context.
