ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit
(12-20-2015, 05:09 PM)Canard Wrote: The Record's view: Out of a sad loss, new hopes rise at the former Schneiders factory in Kitchener

Sad loss? how can a slaughterhouse/meat processing plant be something desirable in the center of a community? These are/were exactly the types of jobs for low education levels that stop communities from evolving and growing in a positive and sustainable way. That said, I DO understand the historical value of this plant. There are still many cities with meat factories where land values and desirability are incredibly low simply because of the presence of such a pollutant, smelly, and overall negative land use.
