I would simply counter that the opportunity is relative. Cheap farmland yields low density suburban housing, land near downtown can generate far more revenue, more density and much less municipal servicing costs per household.
And I’d much rather hear your thoughts on lebreton and the senators respectively as opposed to simply countering everyone else’s comments. You might actually have a good idea about both topics.
