These NIMBY's need to understand that Kitchener is changing, and will be a lot different over the next 5, 10 and 20 years. It likely is already unrecognizable to someone that left 10 or 20 years ago. Even more so downtown, obviously.
We can talk about climate change to boot: if we can have more people living in core areas, they're more likely to use public transit, much like what you see in Toronto. It doesn't eliminate cars, and with ICE cars going out to style in the coming years, we're really going to have to give people living options. Building on farm land isn't one of them.
I am hoping that we start seeing 50 and 60 floors over the next decade, and hopefully for tech companies moving to DTK. It appears this is where we are heading, and rather than gripe, some of these folks should embrace, and if they can't, just accept it.
