Exactly. Not only did they say that, but the Premier also said that. DF said these 4 plexes could come to Ancaster, Waterdown, and Dundas. Those places were mentioned intentionally ~ to fearmonger. @LauraBabcock's OShow interview with @ward1wilson speaks to the fact that historically, housing is used to segregate by income. Councillor Clark and Councillor Francis replied to an email I sent them. They were insulted that I suggested that was exactly what they were attempting to do by suggesting the Riverdale site as an alternative. #HamOnt
@scarletkate @menrvasofia @BCouncillor @TedMcMeekin @LauraBabcock @ward1wilson I can understand why. This is the income data for that specific area of Stoney Creek. Looks very diverse to me. It's also interesting to look at the housing forms & tenure breakdown. Applying generalities isn't applicable in this neighbourhood.
@SaundersWard10 @scarletkate @menrvasofia @BCouncillor @TedMcMeekin @LauraBabcock @ward1wilson Are the charts indicating that in the area that there are only 25 people living in low rise apartments? Or, is that the total number of units?
@SaundersWard10 @scarletkate @menrvasofia @BCouncillor @TedMcMeekin @LauraBabcock @ward1wilson The total of the two charts is 25. Without context, it’s just random numbers….
@johnstrong_ham @scarletkate @menrvasofia @BCouncillor @TedMcMeekin @LauraBabcock @ward1wilson There are 15 low rises in total. (2nd chart). Low rises are less than 5 storeys. The 3rd chart is showing the rentals (tenure changed from total to rental), so of the 15 low rises, 10 are rentals.
@SaundersWard10 @scarletkate @menrvasofia @BCouncillor @TedMcMeekin @LauraBabcock @ward1wilson So, it’s the number of buildings? Cool. Now, what area is being shown? Again, context is important. Cheers
@johnstrong_ham @scarletkate @menrvasofia @BCouncillor @TedMcMeekin @LauraBabcock @ward1wilson The neighbourhood / census tract that captures 5 and 13 Lake Avenue:
@SaundersWard10 @scarletkate @menrvasofia @BCouncillor @TedMcMeekin @LauraBabcock @ward1wilson Now, do the same for the Riverdale area…
@johnstrong_ham @scarletkate @menrvasofia @BCouncillor @TedMcMeekin @LauraBabcock @ward1wilson Sure! My going rate is $100 / hour 😉
@SaundersWard10 @scarletkate @menrvasofia @BCouncillor @TedMcMeekin @LauraBabcock @ward1wilson Bill me. 🤣 Seriously though, it would be good to provide similar data for the *alternative* that’s been touted by the W5 Councillor.
