All those malls were not built on the best farmland in the country
Also, are you suggesting that every new project built has to go through a 60 year evolution process??
We can't just skip the first 60 years of mistakes?
Let me just say this, if you are going to defend this development, then don't do a 180 and bash the Highstreet Shopping Centre in Abbotsford (which was built on a much smaller lot, was not farmland before, is far better designed in regards to parking, etc...)
People are just giving this development a free pass on everything due to their bias that it is being developed by a native band.
This project wouldn't bother me if it was designed far better with a much smaller footprint and reserved some of the farmland it has eaten away.
