True.
I wish The Record wasn't absolute rubbish these days. I used to occasionally write for them about topics like this, so it would be nice to write a long form article about development but they took a somewhat anti-progress slant (or at least some of their regular contributors have). The public needs to hear voices like ours that speak in favour of progress. As a region developing so fast, a lot of people just aren't used to it yet and would benefit from better understanding as to how we need to direct the evolution of Waterloo Region. We're a big place now (9th largest metro area in Canada I think?). We're not a small city/region anymore and are now at a crossroads as to how we evolve. Making mistakes like this and Victoria and Park should make us feel embarrassed and ashamed. Instead we've got idiotic council members and small groups of NIMBYs that handicap our potential for their own selfish reasons.
