Today as I was making my way over to the house I purchased at 26a st and 25 avenue, I noticed one block to the north the owner is attempting to re-designate the lot from Rc2 to RCG.  Will the rowhouse, the inner city bogeyman rear its head, and will a horde of angry NIMBY types descend on City Hall at the 2018 meeting with the tears and hyperbole of how the row house will destroy lives?

This will be an interesting test case for the next Council to deal with.  I am really shy of attempting any more RCG projects, the time and trouble is just too great given the range of potential outcomes.  The last similar application did not even reach the vote, a motion to quit was passed before the vote could be read and only the Mayor and Councillor GC opposed.  

My advice to this applicant (if they had asked me, but they didn't), would have been to not waste the time and expense on this location.  I see it as a low likelihood of passing, with a strong likelihood of costing a lot of money and time.
