Housing availability/affordability is a topic up there the same way as it is in BC and, with a land base as constrained as theirs, I'm surprised they haven't been allowing for more height downtown already.
13% in a town that size is not that much.

Media have been playing with percentages forever to fit a narrative.

A six storey condo with 300 units would likely fill it. I took issue with the word 'surge', which is sensational and not needed.
