And there we have it, so because the rich NIMBYs of Oakville whine and complain, the province bends over backwards and relents on density targets.

Meanwhile it's perfectly fine to ram density down the throats of areas such as St.James Town, Humber Bay, Liberty Village, and countless other communities which cant accommodate grotwh. All because what, the millionaires dont congregate in those areas and their palatial estates and precious peaceful traffic levels would be intruded on.

I'm fed up with Oakville and Burlington always getting away with this non-sense. This is a clown show.

Just to clear things up, this is the same density as the previous proposal, just spread out over lower height towers. The number of units and site area are the exact same. I am curious how they managed to do this, I'm assuming there are more towers than before.

I think the population of Oakville had perfectly legitimate questions and concerns about what was being proposed. However, as this really does not seem to change the numbers, excluding tower heights, it will be very interesting to see how they are proposing to accomplish this. And does this really address local residential concerns?

If anything, Humber Bay and Liberty Village, which have proceeded the provinces TOC concepts, have been lessons about what you do not want showing up in your neighbourhood, and have drawn much comment about how you balance growth, needed homes with traffic, services, schools and neighbourhood in general. Especially when the province rides roughshod over your zoning plans the emphasized growth and density in these areas - just not at the extreme levels the province decided was a good idea (for the developer presume)

How any of these communities handle the rising levels of vehicle traffic and some how try to raise the levels of 'rapid' transit sharing those same roads will be interesting.
