Almost anything is better than what they have been doing (nothing).

Most of it sounds fine, but doubling down on the indefensible behavior of the PPB without without a complete shake up is a hard pass for me.

Edit: Also, expecting a revitalized downtown core when many of the people that funded it are still working remote is not realistic. I know Teargas Ted wants to push everyone back into their cubicles, but I'd really rather see more ambitious plans for pivoting to mixed use spaces to simultaneously bring population into the core and take the pressure off the housing crisis instead of trying to mandate a return to a nonsensical prior normal that most people don't want.
