As for the complainers on FB. The algorithms have rotted their brains. These are mostly miserable people, when you complain about something like this that will likely have zero effect on your life and is years away it says more about you than anything else. There is nothing healthy about being stuck in nostalgia constantly and wanting Moncton to go back its 90s, early 2000s self. These people likely have other things going on in their lives that make them unhappy and complaining about every development that gets posted is some sort of coping mechanism or gives them a sense of control. It is absolutely evidenced that creating more supply will drive down the costs for everyone else. This development will bring jobs in construction and other areas

The world has changed. We are dealing with all of the same changes in our city that places around the world are dealing with. We should be happy to see *master* planned areas like this.

When I see developments like this, my mentality is imagining what downtown Moncton or other areas *could* have looked like if they had the foresight to have been master planned. Imagine if we didnt have maritime door and windows or other industrial buildings smack in the middle of our core.

There is very little negative I could glean from a development like this. The location is unused, the need is there. What could possibly be criticized here?
