In the case of Van Mar where discussions took place about potentials for a property before buying
And then to have that same project not approved must be incredibly frustrating.

These types of crazy decisions by politicians, who see 2018 elections already, are what leads developers to go to the OMB. If it fits the plan I suspect that OMB will approve these if appealed.

This creates the future process of community meetings turning these into even more potentially negative shows of power* (insert the word NIMBY for power*).
