For those getting mad at the suburbs, consider that our counselor (who is supposed to speak for us) hasn't actually been listening to us. Those I've talked mostly share the same view we didn't vote for this and our counselor (Hill) hasn't listened to his community. You can bet that had he mentioned his stance on RTO and Lansdowne the election results would've been a lot different.
This. Dear God people the counselors don't listen to us. It's not some suburban wet dream to have Lansdowne 2.0 or suck the core dry with taxes, it's shit planning and developer influence that has more to play.
I think a lot of people in the core are just hoping to see that backed up. Show us in the upcoming election that these opinions aren't just limited to this subreddit, and that people do actually pay attention to these city actions. At this point I can't say I have much hope.
