It's possible to create student housing and have it still be nice, while also improving the neighbourhoods they are in (parks, new streets, infrastructure, lights, greenery etc) but for some reason Waterloo doesn't seem to care about any of that, they just rubber stamp the proposals and let the developers go crazy.
Or the Region too. The proposed update to University makes it clear they are fine with the status quo. I just hope that Kitchener can take a lesson, though the area around Conestoga College doesn't seem much better.
