This site could easily handle this building, even if it's not currently zoned for it. Brenner's (feigned?) ALL CAPS outrage is an eyeball-rolling cringefest of unearned hyperbole. Yawn.

A grocery store was once proposed here and same thing, the councilor went nuts. It seems he only wants it to be overgrown grass forever…
At one time there was even a GO station proposed in this area but ridership would’ve been far too low to justify it.

I reside on Atwood Crescent and recently received a notice through the mail. I'm quite supportive of the idea to construct a condominium on the empty lot nearby. That space has remained an unused field for quite some time. My plan is to downsize in a couple of years, and staying close to my children is important to me. I'm hopeful that the City will approve this construction project, as I believe it would be beneficial for our community. - John

It's a pretty common reaction from a council member. With the ongoing housing shortage and an influx of over a million immigrants annually, the concern about finding suitable accommodations for all these families is very real. It's becoming increasingly important to observe Pickering's continued growth as we navigate these challenges.
