My azz they are doing it to for the poor people. They are doing it mainly to increase the taxes per square foot of land.
I would rather see a reasonable raise in taxes to account for the sprawl, rather than ruin the older neighborhoods.
I am not against a certain amount of densification, e.g. along major streets, corner lots etc. However, people should know exactly where it is being allowed, and not throwing it open throughout the whole neighborhood.

Wanna know why Marda Loop is having parking and traffic issues?
Answer: NIMBYs demanded every new development have parking. But it turns out that people in new builds like to park on the street instead of their laneway garage just as much as people in old builds like to park on the street instead of their laneway garage.
