I'm trying to imagine a local councillor holding an emergency town hall on anything provincial or federal.
I once again offer my voice to any reporter writing a story on infill and quoting people who say "everyone knows these developments are terrible for neighbourhoods."
Our school is filled with kids. Most of my neighbours rent. You're quoting entitlement, not factual analysis.

Me to my neighbour over the fence: “It’s okay if he (my son) plays in your backyard?”

Things that *are* objectively terrible for YEG neighbourhoods:

* lack of housing options to move to once you age
* shrinking numbers for neighbourhood schools, use of services like buses or rec facilities, and local businesses
