As I read this "greater good" claptrap the theory is for the sake of the city as a whole people who have bought  in good faith, reliant upon city zoning laws to maintain the status quo they have paid for,  should go blow themselves.  This might work in China where dictatorial city power made thousands homeless for the Olympic Games but it doesn't work here. This is no national emergency.  This is  where the developers and their fully paid  for city  politicians get to ride roughshod over the rights of homeowners. This is pure greed.  And the Globe's attempt to turn the argument on its head by saying how rich these particular owners are is truly a new  fake news low. Fact: Toronto  cannot balance its budget without building more residences. Fact: and its cannot afford to pay for the infra structure  to service what it allows to be built without increasing taxes.    The city is addicted to its own ponzi tax-raising scheme.
