Wow, that's a RIDICULOUS article!!! I don't usually comment about the negative reporting about ION, but this has to be the most ludicrous yet.
Despite the negative spin in the article, it could also have been written with a positive view:
- The property was sold to a young family buying their first home.
- The purchaser of the property was aware of the proximity to a new LRT stop and "didn't have a problem";
- The LRT was only a small factor in the decision to move. "It was not a driving factor. There were many other factors in our life that were kind of pushing the move."
- "If the [LRT] is in place and doing wonderful things, then possibly I would have gotten more, who knows" (Indicating the LRT will likely increase property value)
- Recognizes that the property is in the flood plan, has been flooded before, and will likely happen again.
- The family has moved to a new home in the Preston Heights neighbourhood, backing onto the Grand River.
Sounds like a win, win, win, ...
