The two are pretty similar, if you look at it from the supply side of things.
Most of the issues with the built environment are interconnected. Us thinking that the affordability problems here in Halifax aren't connected to the phobic nature of the loud few, would be shortsighted.
This fear permeates into heritage conservation, affordability and how our commercial districts lack the customer base to keep brick and mortar stores open like on Quinpool. We love to plan the cafes and commercial districts but never actually think about where the customer base will come from. Too afraid to upset the residents of an area to be honest to them and tell them they might have to accept new people into their growing neighborhood, if they want to enjoy having shops and services situated close by.

Quinpool has not done well over the last few decades. Stores and restaurants coming and going often. The Centre Plan is going to endanger the existing character of Quinpool to achieve the growth needed by having large amounts of low-rises replace the existing stock on the street. I expect more ugly vinyl siding specials like this to pop up in the area thanks to the Centre Plan.
