To some extent, our planning documents have always said the right things. I remember being a student poring over Plan Winnipeg in the 90s and you would think Winnipeg was poised to become an urbanist paradise based on the concepts espoused in that document. The reality fell somewhat short of that mark.

But that said, at least councillors are willing to actually say no to NIMBYs from time to time. That's an improvement.
