Nenshi was elected in 2010 on a promise to legalize secondary suites and end the handout to developers, and despite what one of his former staffers posted a few weeks ago on here, he was only partly successful on each, and it took him seven years to get half of what he wanted, largely because of the influence developers had throughout each of his first two terms. His third term was largely a failure, and I think even he'd admit that, mostly because he couldn't break the hold the developers had. This is a whole new ballgame with nine solid progressive votes on it.
