General Urban Waterloo Updates and Rumours

[mpd618]

The City of Waterloo needs to get a move on its Urban Design Manual! There is no place for homes dominated by big white garage frontage in old historic neighborhood like this. The character of a part of Esson has already been ruined (there is another suburban looking home to the right of these already).

On the flip side - if these are apparently OK, then why can't good apartment buildings be built here?
