"What makes Chapman’s response to this project especially valuable is that she’s not just opposing, she’s proposing. She’s calling for a moratorium on development in the core area until the city finishes reworking its downtown plan."
You are bang on, this is not a solution or a plan. It is simply saying put the brakes on any new development That is so backwards in thinking it isn't even funny. Speaks to Chapman's thinking process.
"This newspaper has long supported Waterloo Region’s hard country line and the intensification of its three cities. We backed light rail transit, too, long before regional council gave it the go-ahead. But we worry that cities such as Kitchener are adopting a confusing, patchwork approach to which major developments get a green light and which get a red one. We want redevelopment and realize it’s more profitable for developers to build as high as they can. But surely development should not only be about maximum profit. It must also be about maximum intelligent growth." The Record... You are a newspaper, I get it that it is an editorial, but what you want and what many people want, dont necessarily agree. Stay in your lane.
