[Dartmouth] Mount Hope Village (Southdale FGN) | U/C
Clayton Developments is requesting to initiate the secondary planning strategy for Southdale Future Growth Node. These greenfield lands are located between Highway 111, Mount Hope Avenue, Gaston Road and Fenwick Street. Much of the area is taken up by a wetland so most of the development will be on the northern end of the property. It will be a mix of housing types totalling ~700 units. There will be eight low-rise multi-unit buildings.
And.. cue the people who don't want anything built on greenfield sites, "No True Scotsmen" style arguments about why only the most affordable housing construction helps with affordability, and so on:
"I'm not against development, I'm just against THIS development!"
Of course since it is an Examiner article one must take it with several large grains of salt. Not everything they publish can be considered factual or wholly accurate.
With these arguments, nobody should build anything anywhere, because it will always affect something. Yet our population continues to grow, along with housing costs.
I suppose tent encampments would have the smallest effect on the surroundings, so there's that...
