Victoria city councilors opposed to a large rental development? Has that ever happened before?*

I assume it will pass because it would be the perfect irony, the perfect icing on the cake re: those many years of political resistance to smaller projects.

It would nicely close the loop on all the hypocrisy and political insanity.
