"In April, 2019, Sackville Town Council council passed a unanimous resolution acknowledging that “the world faces a climate crisis”https://warktimes.com/2019/04/10/sackville-town-council-stops-short-of-declaring-climate-emergency/). This crisis or emergency has been attributed to excessive use of fossil energy.
High-density housing (apartment buildings) generally requires less energy and less land per person than single-family dwellings. It therefore makes ecological sense to favour the construction of larger buildings occupied by many couples or families over the building of macmansions for individual families, which in the long run contributes to sprawling suburbanization. I see no compelling ecological reason to reject Mr. Beal’s application"

I don't mind Mr. Gordon Beal's development [at 131 Main Street] application either.. looks like a lovely build.... in a lovely town... but the reasons Felix mentions are not my reasons ..... I'm over trying to tell anyone how to live.. I just hope that others figure out they don't need to dictate should and should nots to others as well .. fossil fuels isn't the problem Felix; bullshit is. I'm for housing freedoms and liberty and for food liberty and freedoms too.... more freedom.. more prosperity... imagine that? Its a big country... we are very lucky to be rich with resources.... why would Canadians not develop them and benefit from them? Think about it.
