Over 400 rental units will be added on Quiet Place in Waterloo, but affordable units won't be included
The current NIMBY playbook. Shadows, traffic, affordable, attainable. And the one guy that likes a tiny, run down Tim Horton's.
Is the consultant for the developer setting them up for high rents or when the rents are less (closer to current market) tenants will feel like they got a deal? As Tom pointed out, her figures seem off?
Her figures seem far, far off. But who knows who they're expecting to rent to. Likely a lot of persnickety this build is geared towards, and DINKS. In that regard, perhaps this is best for Waterloo.
