I can totally understand why PW is tired of talking about this. It's a huge problem with no easy solution, but doing nothing, not talking about it, not trying to find a solution, is only going to make the problem worse. Let's hope Nenshi and the rest of our councilors and advisers don't get tired of this topic as easily.
The success of this project, more than any before it, will demand restructuring of priorities in our city. We are one of the fastest growing major cities in NA, with an optimistic political climate, and a strong economic outlook. We can be any city we want to be, and if we want to be a city with great infrastructure and a high quality of life it's going to cost money. I believe that not seizing this opportunity will be far costlier for our city (wasted time in traffic, underutilized land values, an image of sprawl and poor quality of life that discourages young people from moving to our city), and we need to work together. //end soapbox rant.
By the way, this is hilarious, but true:
