No, what I am saying is that Westbrook is a huge black eye on getting user buy-in to the whole density emergency topic. Westbrook is not just a giant inner city empty field sitting between two major West-East arteries (Bow Trail and 17th Ave), it is also sitting on top of a train station!
How can you tell people that they have to suck it up and embrace the changes because "we need more houses" when they know that field could easily be a thousand homes? But we can't be bothered right now... It'll happen eventually.... No thanks.
It feels pretty disingenuous.
