STJ still needs a strong mayor candidate (not the toll guy..) so both of the Os are no longer on Council. <br /><br />Harbor fence, deregulating zoning laws against the advice of city professional staff, poorest roads in memory, costly convention center renovations, anti development league quashing anything before the 1920s yet allowing 'heritage' buildings to become decrepit rat infested fire and satiety hazards.<br /><br />Dannyland is urban sprawl at its finest and NL oil based economy peaked 2005-2009, expect stagnant or declining Avalon economy the next 17 years.<br /><br />Canadian housing bubble should pop or be very deflated by the time DL is constructed. 3,000 new overpriced homes in the 350K+ range, who is going to buy them? <br /><br />Very few young people still live around the bay, is DL going to be a retirement/resettlement community? <br /><br />Unless there is sufficient WATER SUPPLY for DL (water bans in the summer now with 20K more people?) any proposal should be outright rejected. <br /><br />Council are ill equipped or informed to make a decision on DL for the entire region/City. Very few if any current councilor will still be in office when danny cuts his ribbon to DL, just like PC MHAs post Muskrat. <br /><br />If not for the HoA STJ city council wins the award for most inept government body in NL.<br /><br />Did we ever find out who ordered the watering down of the zoning requirements for DL? If a civil servant can be influenced by outside political forces they are in over their head and need to reign or be fired.

Maybe a statue of our Danny will be positioned somewhere near the entrance. A high school may even bear his name.... Politicians have a difficult job to run the province, and an even harder one to define their legacy. Danny's legacy is now becoming obvious to Dunderdale. Debt, bad decisions, and an overconfidence which caused reality to be a concept rarely considered. Dannyville will be a tribute to the Great Spender himself. Time will tell if the association will drive up or lower property values.
