General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours

I think he was comparing traditional buying to live/invest to rent to only person/family vs mixed intent ie. Air BnB, students, low-income (if a particular building includes these) etc.

Interesting point and one not to look over at end of article re: creating a ghetto if entire Charles St. Terminal is redeveloped into all affordable housing. So you mix, because that's what cities are doing - what's a good ratio then, how does one find a balance?

Has it been seriously suggested that the terminal be given over to “affordable” housing only?  I would have thought it more likely that there’d be political will and budget for, at most, an affordable or public housing component.
The idea of converting the old police station to an expanded KWAG is an interesting one.  The walled section of the old goal could make a interesting sculpture garden pending something more ambitious in future.
