22 Weber Street West | 15 fl | Proposed
#44
What I don't get about these nimbys is that just ten years ago, these "old Berlin" houses were seen as relatively undesirable (compared to urban neighbourhoods like westmount etc.

There were several board-up or demolished buildings on Margret Ave. for example.

How did these neighbourhoods go from pariah-status to "rich/wealthy nimby in such a short time?. I think the nimbys are already 1st gen genetifers who do not like the 2nd wave gentrifiers (ex newer urban condo people)
