HRM charter changes proposed to speed up housing builds

[Arrdeeharharharbour]

People flocked to Larry Uteck, and yes, even before there was a housing crisis. Obviously something is attracting people. I don't think evil develpers in any way forced anyone to live there. I, like ODM, am open to learning why it is that the area is considered to be unwalkable. Groceries are somehow complicit, apparently. One's ability to access groceries on foot is often cited as very favorable. I understand. I carried my groceries home from Sobeys for years back when I was single. It was great to leave the auto home and walk. But once I was two this quickly became unrealistic. Can anyone seriously suggest that grocery shopping for a family of four be accomplished on foot as a regular occurance? Anyway, if there is a holy grail of city design and a car-less Spring Garden Road is an absolute necessity, then make it mandatory and have it built first...rather than rebuild something later.
