This plan is outrageous. Oakville already has a plan in place to develop Mid-town Oakville in a responsible way and without mega density that is completely out of character for the town or for any municipality in Canada, for that matter. What is being proposed is completely out of touch with the current or future marketplace, doesn't provide any community benefits and basically is absurd.
If each of the proposed units has just two residents, that will work out to more than 13,000 residents for the 4.9-hectare area, which works out to a density of 2,800 people per hectare.
I asked ChatGPT if there is any where on earth that has this level of denisty. The answer was:
2,800 people per hectare is extremely high, and I found no credible record of a city whose official or overall population density matches exactly 2,800 people/ha (which is 280,000 people per km², since 1 ha = 0.01 km²).... Even the most extreme estimates (e.g. informal settlements) that claim “thousands per hectare” refer to small, over-crowded pockets (slums, cramped housing), not entire urban districts or cities.
So you are trying to create a slum?!?! Great work!
This project with ONE developer is highly suspect. Informally, this project has been referred to as "Greenbelt 2.0" and I completely agree with that description.
It is not viable and should not proceed. PERIOD!
