But it is it is definitely something that is widely felt.

And we're all sort of on the same side, whether, you know, we don't like it because of the impact it's having on, you know, our social media feeds or the impact it's having on our economy or the impact it's having on our environment.

Right.

Or just the fact that, you know, we don't want developers to be able to make the maximum profit without giving anything back to the community.

And that's what we were seeing here with this redevelopment.

Yeah, I mean, those numbers are.

kind of made up, right?

The specifics on this project were few and far between.

The developer never showed up in New Brunswick to explain what they wanted to do or why.

This was all just in the early phase of a redevelopment plan, secondhand.

And frankly, there were lies involved, right?

We were misled at the initial city council meeting where they voted on this and they were told this is just minor tweaks that they're making to the commercial component of the project.

which was supposed to be offices and retail originally.

So, yeah, I have no faith or trust in, you know, developers and officials who are going to mislead us.

And, you know, at the end of the day, you know,

they're not making the case.

They're not making a good case for it.

You know, this company basically came in and said, oh, yeah, that developer messed up, but we're going to take over their project.

We're the financial backers.

And don't worry, he's not involved anymore, so you can trust us.
