You mean the urban boundary expansion that two guys who didn't take developer funding also voted for, that was the planners recommended path forward 60%.... Or Tewin that screwed over alot of devs...
I don't want an urban boundary expansion or Tewin to move forward but I'm not going to pretend that position is the actual real world majority.
As for that real position of the majority, one only has to look at the massive amount of pushback to the proposed plan of 60%. pushback against the proposed density targets from both organizations and CA who have long called for 100% infill. Some being goaded along by implications of illicite activity be councillors, or pandered to by others for not having enough time to properly review....
