And that requires investment, other than the big box barf that is polluting every angle of the periphery.
Grudgingly I will probably vote Brown unless one of the more ambitious, visionary Councillors decides to run (Jesse Helmer has impressed me with his strong push for LRT)

Cheng is a lot like Stephen Harper and others of his ilk... someone who appeals to low-information, willfully ignorant voters who think a dollar paid in taxes is a dollar too much, and that any given expense undertaken by government is wasteful, never mind that taxes are designed to pay for the services that they enjoy.
People like that do not understand the old adage that "The cheap man pays twice over in the end".
