Cutten Fields shares concerns about proposed student housing
33We need to build housing. It's interesting that the "prevailing wisdom" is that it's fine to build on land that poor families use as a public park but we draw the line at casting shade on land fenced off for a rich man's private game.

20I do agree I think 10 stories id to tall for that location.

17I am flummoxed. They say a picture is worth a thousand words. My eyes would not allow my brain to take in the author's narrative. I am sorry but I cannot get past the grotesque image of this architectural and visual blight on the adjacent neighbourhood. I am confounded as to the absence of a single comment regarding the appearance projected by this rendering, Well I guess as they say beauty is indeed in the eye of the beholder. NIMBY please. This building is ugly. Looks like a 3 year old drew a tall rectangular box then sprinkled it with CHEX cereal.

11I don't agree with plopping a 10 storey building in the middle of a golf course. Surely, there is land that would be more suitable for this project... especially when they will be knocking down 3 family homes to build it, one of which was built by my Grandfather in 1943, a typical war time build. Our family spent 40 years there and many a family gathering with the associated memories.

17For what it's worth, if people, including handicapped, would slow down, there would be no "bone jarring"! First, our government takes away speed cameras (policy could well have been altered) and now, a sensible way to slow all vehicles in high traffic areas has been canceled due to pressure applied to politicians. Ask the police service what their opinion is. Potholes create more problems for vehicles than soft cushion speed bumps.

13The traffic now is horrendous. A ten story building will just be chaos.

Guelph & District Multicultural Festival faces shortfall as it celebrates 40th year
13Celebrating multiculturalism was such a quaint and lovely idea some forty odd years ago. Now? Not so much I’m afraid. Time to let the festival wither and die on the vine.

16"... and in close proximity to transit,” Nigel said. NOT!Their is one bus route within 90 metres of the site, BUT the nearest bus stop is over 400 metres from the site.Have the developers offered to pay for and requested a route change to be in close proximity?

16I understand that it is a private developer. I outlined what the University short term housing plans to show that there are plans without the private sector. There is already a private multi story student new build that is west of Edinburgh that was initially approved as public housing before being switched to student only by the developer. So there is even more availability without this ten storey monster near the Cutten Club.

'Do we care about affordable housing or not?': City council wrestles with development rules
11The market determines affordability, we need more housing more than we need affordable housing. The more choices people have the less they are forced to settle for high prices

17So 95% of the new housing built will be unaffordable? That's the plan?
