Bramm Yards Master Plan

[danbrotherston]

I will point out that this is city staff recommending the sale of the site. Although I agree that most of the councils are boomers that still think of kitchener as a small town. The real issue here is that the city's planning department is incapable of thinking large picture and are afraid to take on any risk at all, even it it is the right decision.

This is exactly the problem here. And it's not just governments...it's large organizations of every kind. The kind of paranoia around risk that I experienced at the bank is hilarious. But the biggest problem is that they have no idea how to actually measure risk, at the bank or in the gov...they believe if they do nothing and stand very very still nothing bad can happen. They fail to realize that the world is also in motion, even standing still, you'll eventually get knocked over.
