Update from Burlington News. Interesting discussion and complaint from the new condo across the street objecting to the development. So it’s true, the NIMBYS populate these OLT specials with their little version of Doug Fords Ontario….see the posting in the thread ‘City of Toronto - Affordable Housing’

“We felt that most of the owners bought into that property years ago prior to Covid and really, truly felt that it would be a high-end, luxury development across the street from us,” Calibaba said. “Not a high-density, rent-subsidized apartment building. I know it’s probably going to be a nicer one downtown, but it’s not the same as a condominium”

A number of grievances were listed….. including traffic issues at the Brant Street and James Street intersection, community engagement and the visual aspects of the rental building……

The article is below and noted is the City’s pushback.

Well…old Burlington gets bulldozed for our standard solution to our housing issues…..another tower. The twist to,this development is that the tower will be rental units, much to the annoyance of the incomers forming the new housing elite in the tower across the street. Now I am pretty sure the term rental does not put the cost of living in this new project within the reach of most, where the average rental runs $2,000 per month and more. So we’ll see. But it’s underway and that is news, as far too many approved projects sit in some state of hiatus in Burlington.

As disheartening as is is to see our very limited old downtown slowly demolished year by year, god it feels good to see work actually happening somewhere in this city
