Regarding number 2, that development includes over 700 new housing units of which more than half have already been built at The Sudbury, and the entire project will include retail/restaurant space. Writing the entire project off as a hideous lab building is laughably off base.

And again, this development includes over 700 new housing units. Having high housing costs doesn't mean it's a good idea to stop all other forms of new development
