Dear Editor,
Where the blame lies for foreign investment ghost houses and out of neighbourhood character, oversized homes is with the elected leaders of this city (past and present).
Local politicians have begun their wiggle room dance, trying to defend the ignorance of their zombie zoning vision.
It is the voice of the majority of the residences of this city who have woken up the politicians as to what is happening within some neighbourhoods.
The damage has been done, many of these oversized homes will most likely be rezoned and converted into multi room rental accommodation in 15 to 25 years, as taxes, heating, maintenance and repair costs will be beyond the affordability of single families living in these homes.
Or, maybe they will be torn down and replaced with multi-family units to preserve the city’s tax revenue base?
