Yes. What was the breakdown on voting?
I'm sick and tired of the NIMBY vote in this city killing every reasonable and basic development.
I'm sick and tired of Councillors without the backbone to do what is right, or the brain to do what every planning staff in every major city is doing.
I'm sick and tired of the reality that no matter that supporters for this proposal outnumbered the detractors by 3-to-1, just because a few big mouths show up at some lame public forum, Councillors pander to their typical complaints about wind, shadows, height, traffic.
Such complete BS.
Votes like this remind me why we can't have nice things in this city.
We simply do not have the Municipal Council or HRM staff with the backbone to do what is right.
To do what cities all across the country have figured out, and are already working towards: limiting costs by fighting sprawl and building higher density vibrant communities and urban spaces.
