Urbanarium-SALA CityDebate #15: RETHINK THE DTES NEIGHBOURHOOD PLAN
The case is decided
It wasNathan.
Michael argued that the Downtown Eastside plan should be rethought, mainly to allow more ownership housing and retail to fill empty storefronts. Nathan argued that the plan should be fully implemented first, warning that changing the social-housing protections would raise land values and push out vulnerable residents. The room shifted strongly toward Nathan's side: the pre-debate vote was 85% for rethinking the plan and 15% against, but the final vote was 45% for and 55% against. That 40-point swing makes Nathan the winner.
