Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes
By Anne McMahon
I love Pointe-Claire for its sense of community, but I feel that the topic of development has become very divisive. I feel that everything in moderation is what should be the aim. There is a housing crisis, so we need more affordable housing. I feel that to accomplish this we need to build up — possibly with a reasonable maximum height. The area around the REM is a possible area for development, especially if it is combined with transit links to get there. Condos have become the rallying cry for those against development, but they can be an option for those wanting to enter the housing market. Change is healthy but sometimes scary.
