Peggy Cameron strikes again, and once more CBC News and Pan Berman give her anti-development attitudes a voice. Berman must have her on speed dial.
Nothing wrong with this proposal but look for Council to call for 10 storeys to be sawed off to 6, and 4 stories to be deemed "TOO TALL!!!". Ridiculous.
I remember stumbling across the minutes of council meetings from the old City of Halifax from the 1950s a while ago dealing with the time when the Ben's site was first proposed for a bakery. It was controversial at the time. Not only were there allegation of conflict of interest in property sales on the part of a councillor, but the residents at the time objected to the idea of a bakery in their beloved neighborhood. Nevertheless it went through, with many platitudes voiced about jobs and what a good businessman the proponent was. This proposal strikes me as a considerable improvement.
