IRAC Appeals Delay Affordable Housing Development(s)
It appears to be the NIMBY'S favourite tactic is to immediately appeal any development regardless what it is and to whom it may impact or benefit.
The following tweets from Tim Banks (APM) shows the frustration developers
must go through to get anything underway. I propose that they stop all development and let the people looking for these units take their appeals to IRAC against the NIMBYs as they are the ones to blame for the lack of housing for people in this city.
Tweet 1 (Sherwood Crossing):
Appellant wants to put the Appeal in abeyance so the City can “reconsider the approval” (for Sherwood Crossing) a new tactic the NIMBYs will be using now they learned through the Angus Drive process that it’s another way to delay progress while people are screaming for affordable living.
Tweet 2 (Porthouse Affodable Development):
Another IRAC appeal filed, this one against our Porthouse project… page 48 of the appeal shows most of the buildings were 3 stories tall… let’s tear down Maritime Electric & DVA building & go back to horse & wagons
as those old fire wagons won’t reach 6 floors high.
