Just build them already

As someone who's lived in the Galt Core, and given my profession, I take great pride in living in a beautiful town where we can enjoy many old buildings with boundless charm and character. That are half empty. And have been that way since I first moved into the core in 2003. Every time a new shop opens, another can be found shuttering it's door and windows.  We want to revitalize the core.  We want us to move forward.  We want LRT, and GO trains, and to get back to the river.  But how are we going to achieve all these things if we don't get warm bodies downtown?  We should be so lucky, that someone wants to spend $130m in our core, and we must be willing to work with them instead of putting up roadblocks.  We know this to be true from our own gardens and homes.  Left neglected, even the pretties gardens will whither and die.  If we have to alter the garden to accommodate a caretaker, isn't that a better and more fitting way to protect it, rather then just neglect it?  The end result will be more money spent in our core, more businesses thriving and hiring more people, and so on.  And just perhaps, Mayor Craig will be able to sleep a little more easier, seeing a lot less people utilizing the Cambridge Food Bank.  Let's just build the damn towers already.  Are 20 stories too high?  Should they be reduce to 18 or 16?  Do you think that will make a difference?  Post your comments below! :-)
