This one was recommended for approval by City staff, but shockingly rejected by Planning and Council. Since went to the OLT a year ago. Not sure what's the hold-up.

And yet the Provinces accuses Cities of being too slow at processing applications.

This is so bizarre. There should be no reason to reject this. Just let them build the damn thing.

Yeah, this whole debate has been very strange. We approve just about anything anywhere. Minto re-worked the project twice to try and mitigate concerns. It's a little taller than other projects in the area, but the massing is well done compared to the retirement home super-block across the street.

Did Minto stop funding political campaigns at some point?

Here's the evolution of the project. Thanks to rocketphish on SPP for posting these over there in the first place.

There are hundreds of think pieces currently on social media why Ontario isn't building housing fast enough, and then a perfectly good and proportional project like this is just hanging in the balance for years. Make it make sense.

When you build, tens of thousands of dollars are just fees and taxes, which makes new units not competitive with already built units that were built when construction prices were lower. You heavily tax things you want to discourage (e.g. cigarettes), and new builds in Ottawa are taxed like they are cigarettes.
