General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours

[mastermind]

I don't disagree that many things aren't perfect, but it seems like a big ask to get enough non-developer people to care about their neighbourhood development in enough detail to make informed choices. Most people are busy caring about other (also very important) issues more related to their careers or passions, and then there's a decent amount of people who have a strong opinion for no reason. How can you actually get accurate info about what a community needs? Isn't that what the 'few city planners and private developers' are for? If not them, then who?
