This answer does not satisfy me, nor make me confident it is the right direction. I feel that this is a "pass the buck" sort of answer, that makes the city look clean if this blows up in peoples faces.
However if it is provincial funding that is putting this up, well we can't really knock too hard. Its hard enough to get adiquate provincial funding.
This project still leaves me with the feeling that the low income are still being lumped into one building, as many as they can without much consideration to other projects in other parts of the world where they concentrated low income.
