A recent letter (B次元官网网址淚ncreased density not the answer for Oak BayB次元官网网址�) decries Oak Bay being painted B次元官网网址渁s old fashioned and anti-changeB次元官网网址� and goes on to say that many questions are unanswered about how more densified communities are faring, post-densification.

This is an argument for more evidence-based dialogue, which is rational. How strange, then, that the letter concludes with the evidence-free, apocalyptic guarantee that B次元官网网址渋f population increase estimates come close to predictionsB次元官网网址� all of our cities and districts will be over-densified and uninhabitable.B次元官网网址�

By contrast, ample evidence already exists for Oak Bay being anti-change B次元官网网址� see the feverish opposition to: The Clive in its near-identical-to-former-size, the Bowker development on my own block, and the United ChurchB次元官网网址檚 proposal; the latter opposed so fiercely they simply gave up.
