The thing that's just so tiring about Seb and his anti-suburbs campaign is that people need to live somewhere. The inner city is already built, and the only new developments are infills. So each 50' lot that gets divided should be paying some percentage of this magical seven grand that he wont STFU about. Because for every additional resident, the local infrastructure gets used more, and gets worn down faster, and needs to be replaced sooner.
Do you think that just because you're withing the glenmore/sarcee/16th/deerfoot range, that you're not a tax on the system? Any new development within that range does not affect the infrastructure?
It's tiring listening to all the latte sippers rant about the suburbs. Where the F else do you want the other 700,000 people to live? In Edmonton? Ok, then you'd have your wish, and your taxes would be nice and low, because you'd be living in downtown Regina.
