Certainly the ones who oppose it are wealthy elitists.

On the other hand, everything I have ever heard about this idea of "filling in" seems like homeowners who want to rent out their alley without having to conform new-built residences to code so they can maximize $$$$$.

Do other cities have this "movement"?

An application with the City's Committee of Adjustment (CoA) sought to bring a three-storey, eight-unit apartment building...

the site of the proposed building is nestled within one of Toronto's many wealthy enclaves of single-family housing...

I'm sorry... what about an apartment building is a "tiny building"? Bad title, very misleading.

I now added quote marks to the title in case it wasn't clear that I am not saying this. Not certain if you or anybody was confused by that.

To tell the truth I didn't read the whole article. It was too annoying. I hate everyone involved too much. Thanks for putting in the work.

Oh no comrade, I wasn't trying to say that you were editorializing in the OP title. I could have been clearer that I was referencing the title of the blogpost (unless that's your blog... which I hope not... because that would be a bit awkward)

It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
