At times I probably come across as being against densification (I'm not entirely). I just get tired of the holier than attitude of
some of the people pressing for this, and specifically those who rent rather than own and are ideologues on this topic largely due to their current stage of life.
I also better note that I don't even mean that comment to specifically apply to CP as I've run into some of the people at various times and places. I should also note that I'm not makig the rent v. own distinction as a comment about whether people owning should mean they have greater say either; its just that renting a 500 sq. foot apartment in the beltline and saying "we can densify" as compared to someone who actually owns and pays taxes is a night and day scenario IMO.
