It's crazy to me (and sad) how much we restrict what can be built in the city - that even necessities like daycares are considered a "conditional" use. That'd be like saying schools are conditional use and that residents can oppose a school being in their area because it'd create traffic (YOU are the traffic mate!). The same goes for basic retail in residential areas - why make people get into their cars to drive somewhere for coffee or milk? Allow basic retail in residential areas so people can walk and we all get less traffic.

Just look at the yet to be Olympic Village school. Man what a shit show. We need a school to serve the growing demand of the area, wait what it means our park is smaller then fuck no, wait it's too tall, fuck the kids. I work down the street and have been since 2009. I've literally witnessed the construction of the entire village from start to current state. That school should have been up and running for years but nope still fighting. Like just step in and build the damn school already.
