century home</a> — Oct. 28</strong></p>
<p class="text-block-container">Has anyone else noticed a
pattern with developments in Waterloo Region in the last few
years?</p>
<p class="text-block-container">City bylaws, zoning and
heritage designations are in place to protect green space,
residential homes, neighbourhoods and historically important
buildings.</p>
<p class="text-block-container">A developer approaches a city
council and asks that these protections be overturned so
they can build their development. Groups of concerned
neighbours, heritage bodies and environmental groups devote
a lot of time and thought to eloquently express their
concerns to council about tearing down heritage buildings,
removing old trees that will take a hundred years to replace
and changing the flavour of neighbourhoods.</p>
<p class="text-block-container">The city then asks the
builder: How high would you like to build?</p>
<span style="display:block" id="contentEndBreakPoint" class=""></span>
<p class="text-block-container">Cities in the region should
listen to the people that will have to live with the new
developments, and not just the developers.</p>
