CBC has a story on it: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/kitchener...-1.6217621
This particular quote stuck out to me:
What does that even mean? Another London? How do you aspire to be "another London" lol? There is nothing in London, we are the bigger and more unique region already. Or Niagara Falls? The Grand River is not the Niagara Falls. And comparing us to Toronto is - I am going to guess - because it's a tall building. Typical. They talk about preserving the character of Cambridge but, well, Cambridge is known for its homeless and drug addicts...not much else.
Not mentioned in the CTV link is that the developer is agreeing to "kick in" 2000 dollars per unit for affordable housing in the city as the project itself has no affordable units.
