#ThrowbackThursday THANKS to the #NIMBY folks who put up those ORIGINAL #DensityCreep signs back in 2015 -- for helping to inspire the nascent #YIMBY movement in Toronto back in the day..! 💚 ⁉️You triggered a great '#WTF?!?' counter-point in #TOPoli... https://t.co/ycJkqA5ZuJ

Between the picture, the hashtag, and the details, #densitycreep is like a story from The Onion, but in real life.

@bowker_john That’s fine but as long as our Planning system in #TOPoli is “ask for 5-storeys to MAYBE get 3-storeys”...and even townhouses are impossibly hard...I’ll be on the ‘do more, denser and faster’ team...and will Call-Out the specious #DensityCreep arguments. https://t.co/OGeipLgpxl

@alexbozikovic ...on the other-hand Matlow’s recent Wholesale-Heritage move is mostly an exercise in “Virtue-Washing” of regular, old Mid-Town NIMBYism & #DensityCreep B.S. in #TOPoli. https://t.co/bxHEKJaUEO

@CBCToronto @CrosstownTO 6/ Are SOME buildings of 258 actually "worthy" of Heritage-Protection? Sure, maybe 10-15%. Other 85% is Camouflage for #NIMBY #DensityCreep.
