Some neighbours are upset by the proposal for a six-storey development on Union St: https://www.waterloochronicle.ca/news-st...velopment/
It's interesting that the thing the one neighbour is most upset about is that the developer is asking to build less parking: "The city is being asked to reduce parking to permit the six-storey building, and that’s where Stinson draws the line.“Why can’t we build what suits the neighbourhood instead of getting the neighbourhood to suit itself to what they want?” he wonders. “If the city doesn’t care about anything else to do with surrounding residents, it could at least make (developers) follow the rules.”
