So there you go; eight potential sites right at King and Eagle and potentially only six houses demolished (possibly more of them facing Eagle to get the tracks in though). And most of the neighbourhood left alone. Sound like a good start?
It seems that there is indeed intensification potential, if the city will accept it.
And I will note that there are a number of projects in Kitchener where homeowners have sold their single-family homes to a developer who is building medium-or high-density housing on a site built up of multiple lots. No one forced anyone to sell anything, though, each homeowner sold completely voluntarily.
