Land values in downtown Halifax are expensive for Halifax but not expensive on a national scale and probably not where they could be. There's no question that the uncertainty and delays surrounding any new proposals are depressing land values. That lot on Hollis would have been worth way more than $5M if it were known ahead of time that a $150M tower could be built there (another case where the HRM loses out from their own stupidity, I guess).

I agree that council is terrible. I hope many of them are replaced in the next election with people who actually have an appreciation for what the real issues are and what can be accomplished in Halifax.
