That's a very fitting description. And the City planners are from hick-ville central.

If a developer wants to build a rental building under Rental 100 then a rezoning can be contemplated, like the building at East 11th and Kingsway currently under construction. The Mount Pleasant Plan (adopted less than 7 years ago) identified a few places where rezonings for condos could also occur - like The Independent just up the street from here, but this wasn't one of those locations. |
Haha big deal with 8 stories. For that area they should be putting in a 40 storey building to house as many people as possible! No wonder we have a housing crisis.
