I don't necessarily disagree much with what Nenshi has said on the issue, but at the same time he's playing in the same mud in the press as the developers. He's not exactly rising above them.
Also I'm on the side of the developers with regards to their rebuke of Rollin Stanley's 'Stockton, California' example. That was an aggregious hyperbole to make (maybe as much of a hyperbole as the homebuilders claiming there's a greenfield development freeze). It would be similar to a remark argueing that Canada should cut back OAS payments even further lest we become Greece. Sure, directionally the arguement is sound, but the scale of comparing the two is out of the scope of magnitude.
