Very positive, if approved. But just the start.
This bridges the absolutely cretinous gap between my fellow affordable housing activists, one side (almost all) of which is trying to restrict housing and lock down the Montreal they found when they moved in, and the other side (depressingly small) which correctly understands that the reason that this move is good is the same reason that building more housing is good: unmet demand means higher housing costs, which means gentrification, which means displacement, etc.
Let this be a start of a change in the absolutely moronic housing policies in Villeray and Rosemont. And please let I move to the Plateau.
