That's not conisistent with McIver's mayoral campaign at all. He wanted to continue subsidizing sprawl and build the SE LRT (also a sprawl inducer), which would've meant long term tax increases.
For clarity: I like investing in transit, but if you build to the edge of the city and subsidize the houses that will be more likely to get built there as a result, that's bad for the city as a whole.
