I enjoyed reading “CAO says city is attempting to manage extraordinary growth” in the November Advocate.

As a family caught in the middle of the building happening north of Lindsay, I am not a fan. With the roads always busy now and the speed issue, more people aren’t always a positive solution. Habits are not quick to change.

Supposedly 2,000 homes being built, two schools, park trail green space. Affordable? Probably not. Places to shop? We haven’t heard.

Maybe I’m being too quick to judge but those of us that aren’t comfortable with neighbourhoods going up around us may feel crowded out and feel the urge to move away. A burb of Toronto isn’t my idea of peaceful country life.
