With so much city owned vacant land (Blatchford, exhibition grounds, coliseum, Ft. Road) why doesn't the city lead by example and use their vacant land first before allowing these horrible infills? I don't even care if they give the land away for free. All that would do is be a cost neutral alternative to giving non-profits grants to build affordable housing (and to support a city councillor's husband). That is if the city really wants affordable housing.

Multi unit Infills are taking over our mature neighbourhood. There is a project on hold right now on Buena Vista road that wants to build 4 towers on one lot where one home use to stand. There is no parking to accommodate the 30 bedroom units they are proposing. We have heard that they plan to rent out these rooms by the hour! This is beyond what should be acceptable in a neighbourhood.

Because some common sense and thouhht should be going on. This free for all attitude towards the builder with no thought to the neighborhood needs to be changed.

They are destroying my neighbourhood with all the infills and don’t care how it impacts long term residents. This has got to stop.

I’ve been seeing duplexes, multi family condos, youth emergency rooms etc pop up all over the city with seemingly no thought to parking issues, proximity to children’s parks, neighborhood agreement and strongly feel that this is a city wide issue that needs to be looked at with all issues not just from developers side!!!

Infill is out of control and unregulated. Needs to have parking and other necessities on property not in front of everyone else’s houses

Don’t want all the parking from all places in such small area . The area has no apartments or multi condo units and I oppose the approach to build these in the residential area .

I'm against infill due to the fact that city council did not account for parking and depreciates existing house properties value, but of course land tax is still rising.

The city is elected to uphold the interests of its citizens who have clearly spoken out about infills and the lack of regulatory framework. Developers have been permitted extreme leniency and opportunities that should never have been afforded. These large multi-plex units are not in keeping with the community. This is about money for the developers.

A 6–8 dwelling development on a small lot surrounded by single-family homes can be completely out of scale with its surroundings. Height, setbacks, balconies, privacy, parking and overall massing matter. A balcony should not be positioned so close to a neighbour’s roof, garage or yard that privacy is effectively lost.Homeowners purchased these properties at significant cost with a reasonable expectation of a stable, livable residential environment. That expectation should not become meaningless.

I'm all for creating more homes for people but the parking situation and having garbage bins all over the area is reckless.
