Charles St GRT terminal redevelopment
So, kick the can down the road some more? No real solution, no tangible effort. Just...hey...here's some money. Go away. No, actually, go over there. Okay fine, go there. Stop complaining, we gave you enough, the voters stopped writing angry e-mails! Sigh, okay, here are some garden sheds. They're beside the landfill by the way. No there are no buses out there, but you get to feel like the how tax payers see you: literal garbage.

Come on dude lol. These people deserve more. They deserve homes and services downtown (beyond just homeless encampments). It could be a perfect place to build a community focused on rehabilitation, education, health and stability. Not everything is about "cost". It's sad so many people have been conditioned to think this way.

This place is central to the region, services, parks and recreation, transit. Why not turn it into something valuable? That is, value beyond the monetary? I'd rather see something useful than another condo tower bought up by Indian and Chinese dudes who probably couldn't even point out Waterloo Region on a map. It could be a great mixed used facility with affordable/transitional housing, health and addiction medical care, education, community space, recreational space an area for general public use and even some commercial use. Selling it to someone is just stupid.
