@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 😉
@johnstrong_ham @scarletkate @menrvasofia @BCouncillor @TedMcMeekin @LauraBabcock @ward1wilson Here's Riverdale West census tract (I can't figure out how to combine & add in Riverdale East). Interesting, there are zero low rises. Mostly high-rise apartments and mostly rentals. "Riverdale" is generally considered to be combo of W&E so I've provided that as well
@johnstrong_ham @scarletkate @menrvasofia @BCouncillor @TedMcMeekin @LauraBabcock @ward1wilson From my 'planning' experience, Staff would view a low-rise addition as a very positive move. Wording such as "introduces a new form of housing not found in the area" Official Plan this, Growth Plan that, Provincial Policy statement this and that ...
@SaundersWard10 @scarletkate @menrvasofia @BCouncillor @TedMcMeekin @LauraBabcock @ward1wilson Cool. Hate to ask, but can you post the maps? At your convenience, of course.
@johnstrong_ham @scarletkate @menrvasofia @BCouncillor @TedMcMeekin @LauraBabcock @ward1wilson Just heading out but will do later tonight if I can. For clarity, you want me to post them as a new message? Anything in particular you want that message to say?
