> Fuck your neighbors. The region is long overdue for more housing to fix the ridiculous situation that has formed down there. I wonder what the repercussions of this type of uncontrolled building will be. An overreaction to a frustrating situation usually doesn't end well. There are good reasons to have construction permits, so growth can be planned. There's also endless ways cities abuse the permit process. But the good reasons still exist. If developers are allowed to build without any limit, who is going to be planning for all the requirements external to the new building? Water supply capacity, sewer capacity, traffic flow into and out of it, new schools required, etc? Developers are happy to build a building, sell all the units and leave town with the profits. But additional units do generate additional support needs from the city infrastructure, is anyone considering these needs if a developer is allowed to build anything they like no matter how big?
