The Region is looking into two new affordable housing projects (one in Waterloo and one in Cambridge). I attended a virtual public engagement session last week on the 555 Beechwood project and there was a lot of opposition to it (Traffic, height (it's 6 stories), plus a lot of unfortunate comments about renters not caring for their homes). Though I heard the earlier session was even stronger in their opposition. I believe it goes to council on July 15th and I suspect there will be many folks speaking against it at that point. I have registered to speak in support of it myself. There's a little bit of information on the Region's website about it too. https://www.regionofwaterloo.ca/Modules/...d317618f5c
