Is it ever questioned whether it is a conflict of interest that Debbie and her husband’s primary goal is to limit housing affordability and protect the value of their own real estate? How does she bring an unbiased view to any vote that may benefit future residents? She can’t.

Indeed, someone just mentioned that point in NZ following the now-ex-Transport Minister forgetting to sell his shares in the Auckland Airport.

Imagine if any MP who owned more than a family home and one other property were obliged to recuse themselves from housing policy discussions. Parliament would be practically inquorate and no housing policy would ever get made, for better or worse, because none would touch it

That literally just happened in the Cambridge committee of adjustments and council voted unanimously to do nothing about it. Recommendation of the integrity commissioner was for the chair to be fired.

Ah yes, his usual "towers are anti-social" tirade. NYC and Hong Kong: known anti-social capitals of the world.

If these people spent even 50% of the time they do preparing for and delegating to these review meetings, which council once again spent summarizing their lack of power with the OLT, perhaps we might get some actual policy reform so min/max-ing tower developments weren't the most favourable option to add housing in the city.

You can be assured anything even 4-6 stories in Cherry Park would have the same screaming opposition because there is absolutely zero recognition that the existing of these downtown SFH wards are the reason the towers have a market.

City council is on a role, it would seem.
