Per the original post, this is meant to be 'objective data' in the sense that it's not your normative perspective, but what official fora and media have captured to act as a thread where all these disparate snippets are collected
For example: a counsellor votes against X developments; a counsellor votes in favour of X developments, so-and-so private individual said "think of the children" as a reason to not build across X proposals, or a former politician says they'll "consider all legal actions against the government" X times.
Thank you for understanding and please keep this content to such examples.
Again, not our opinions, but what has happened on the "public record". If you're quoted in such channels, feel free to include it here.
There are already established heritage focused threads (e.g., Old Halifax), so the demolition content, etc. can be posted there. Most? of these sites don't currently have proposals, so wait until the debate on the lots has ensued.
If you are new to the forum, it is definitely worth going through the subsections to find threads on content you're looking for.

I realize this is your thread and I think it is a very good idea to hold accountability as our current path is misguided. However, if "a counsellor votes in favour of X developments" and that development involves the demolition of significant architecture I think the accountability is worthy of notation.
