General Urban Waterloo Updates and Rumours

Khrushchoba buildings in the shittiest cities in Russia that look better than the garbage Waterloo manages to produce.

Yeah, Russia wouldn't be jealous of the Waterloo Ghetto.

I used to work in the King & University area up until 2014 or so, so I saw some of this growth, which really exploded these last few years. There used to be nice houses from Ezra to Columbia. It's OK they were replaced. It's King St, and it should be dense. But it is disappointing that it turned out to be mostly, if not all, student housing, and low quality build to go along with it.

But it is shocking that these buildings are deteriorating as quickly as they are. But also shocking that these building were approved in the first place. I guess Waterloo saw all this development money coming in, maybe to help pay off the RIM fiasco.
