Grocery stores, parks, schools, places of worship, barbers, tailors, mechanics, etc, etc, etc all within the community and all within walking distance.

Your beef is with Provincial and Municipal planners - not the community of Lakeview or it's residents. Grow up.
Wow, I'm sorry, I did not realize that having a Sobeys makes a community functional and self-suficient. What you've described also describes any other sub-division in the city. It doesn't make you special. Anyway, I'm glad you've got barbers and tailors and places of worship, but it's not 1950 anymore and the rest of the city is trying to make some progress.

But wait, your argument has convinced me. I suggest we cut off road access to Lakeview. You're functional and self-sufficient, I'm sure you'll do just fine, you're all such terrific people. No one ever leaves Lakeview anyway, it's a community!

Or perhaps, you're just a bunch of self-centered tools with a nasty case of NIMBYism.
