John Milford, as usual, has got it back to front. If the city is to progress, the Council needs to spell out what it expects of the business community! If there are companies that can’t support the well-being of the city and all its citizens, they shouldn’t need to be shown the door – it is plain sight.

Not once did you mention or address homelessness. More roads produce more cars.
Parallel universe I think. John Milford’s one has no problems that “Business as usual” can’t solve. Meanwhile, here where the rest of us live. . . .
