I swear all these people who are complaining about this in the public comments don't understand that Kitchener is no longer a small city like we're expected to grow to about half a million by 2051 based on the Regional Official Plan and the only way that is possible is if there is densification, it is at the edge of a MTSA where they want density so these people are going to get a tall building regardless of what they say. Like yes having the idea of having mid rise everywhere is a great idea but these people seemingly lack the understanding that based on the current zoning structure that is impossible and there would be even more pushback on something like that. This isn't even mentioning the fact that they're complaining about affordability in the comments, basic supply and demand is lost on those people, if you build more supply you will lessen the demand and in theory will make things more affordable, obviously that doesn't work in the current market only because we have so little supply but over time it should hopefully help. These people really just need to shut up and deal with it at this point. The only good thing about this is hopefully Chapman isn't able to talk about it because she lives around the corner.
