Re: Town’s growth plans up in air, Dec. 14
Rick Vanderlinde’s front page analysis in last Friday’s Journal stridently declared “Urban sprawl must be stopped.” It seems that such an opinion needs no justification these days. Urban sprawl consists of suburban neighbourhoods, shopping malls and employment areas.
A lot of people want a house with a yard, and to work close by so they can be home at a reasonable hour to be with their families. Forcing people into apartment buildings with anti-sprawl regulations imposed from on high will simply drive up the price of the home in the suburbs. That’s what happened in California with anti-growth hysteria.
Only the wealthy will be able to live their dream and the rest of us will be crammed together downtown for our own good.
This is a country where two-tiered health care is so immoral it’s a crime. I guess two-tiered housing is OK as long as the liberal elite deems it so.
