It's an argument I hate hearing come up, because it's how our communities are largely speaking. In a region of almost 600,000, so many people still feel they're part of communities of under 100K (Waterloo folks often ignore students, which would perhaps just get you under that bar). This leads to the arguments about Catalina being the appropriate scale of "urban" development. You live in a core area, expect that the densest, noisiest, widest-array of development is coming to be your neighbour.
