Halifax pans bill giving province veto power on housing and development bylaws

A young white man with a dark beard, looking seriously at the viewer in a black and white photo by Zane Woodford October 31, 2022November 9, 2022

Halifax Mayor Mike Savage said the bill ‘came with no notice and no respect for municipal authority.’

Apartment buildings under construction on Clyde Street in Halifax in June 2021. The new construction dwarfs an older building, which is itself only a couple of decades old. In the foreground you can see a bright blue cherry picker crane, and a yello tube through which trash drops into a dumpster. In front of the nearest building is a chain link fence, covered with multi coloured banners extolling the virtues of the construction company, the investors, and the future luxury accomodations. The banners are already worn and filthy.

Four black and white photos from a free photo service. They are all of people with their faces buried in their hands in misery. One is a young teenaged boy on a bridge. Apparently this illustrates the feelings of poor troubled landlords.
