Fact of the matter is this, lowincome housing is very much needed in this province, and what better place to build an inner city project for lowincome earners than a residential location (Mosaic Stadium) that is dire need of revitilizing to begin with. The target hasn't changed as we've been saying that this is the goal since this whole debate began, some people just choose not to listen.

No one disputes the need for affordable housing. However, strongly connecting it to the stadium project after the fact is rather two-faced, even for the Mayor and the guy from Silverspring. I doubt it will impact support at the polls.
The stress our elected officials bring upon themselves is incredible. Chev appeared defeated in December. Public life can be cruel.
