their answers mostly hovered around it being “divisive.” if you’re wondering what the fuck that means in the context of more housing for people, I’m right there with you.

they also said the provincial regulations will take care of this. That’s literally not true because of Shaugnessy’s exclusive zoning status.

in short, they don’t have a coherent argument against Boyle’s motion outside of pettiness.

Just read the press release on their website.The main reason they said is because it would waste city staff time and resources… So basically as u said, no reason.

Meanwhile they do exactly that with the speed cameras motion. “Let’s study this for two years more, even though it has been continuously studied for the past decades”.

Ah, if we assume their formula to calculate usefulness of initiatives is “resources spent”/ " return". No wonder they will do the speed camera. When return is 0 the usefulness becomes infinite. I have been humbled.
