I believe it is funded through Alberta, but I will ask around.
Know it all.

What was the compromise, is Starlight providing extra doctors and hospital beds for the new residents?

8-1 vote, sole dissenter was C. Hammond.

Oops! Yes indeed it was, I had Hammond on the brain, Thompson on the keyboard!
Thank you for catching that.

What was finally agreed upon?

It all worked out, as it nearly always does after a big fuss.

Starlight said it intends to break ground this year on the first phase of the project, at 1045 Yates St., which used to house an auto dealership. That phase includes purpose-built rental residential towers of 21 and 20 storeys, nearly half an acre of green space for a community park, a daycare and retail.
The second and third phases that will come out of the ground on the 900 block of Yates would include three residential towers ranging in height between 28 and 32 storeys, a half-acre park and community space to be programmed by the City of Victoria.
Mayor Marianne Alto said she was delighted to see the project come to fruition.
“This is, I believe, if not the, then one of the most grand applications in the city’s history with regard to housing,” she said. “This certainly is one of the largest examples of making very intentional decisions that council’s had the opportunity to undertake. This certainly will have a tremendous, and I hope, I believe, positive impact on the evolution of the homes for people.”
Shauna Dudding, Starlight’s executive director, said the project, called Harris Green Village, represents an opportunity to create a vibrant, urban, mixed-use community that is both diverse and inclusive. “Purpose-built rentals are a critical aspect of the revitalization of this neighbourhood and we are honoured to be an integral part of the process.”

Clearly, Alto became fluent in gobbledygook after 8 years of lessons from her predecessor.

Great news; I'm going out to buy a large bag of popcorn in anticipation of the fun and fireworks on Facebook and other social media when word of this gets out - you just know Victoria's "....angry/cranky/anti-height-at-all-costs/we look more and more just like mini-Vancouver!!!..." crowd will be all over this one. I can hear the wailing and whining and moaning and gnashing of teeth already......

Big W for housing supply, big L For surface parking lots.

...Seems like short term gain for long term pain...
This for sure. You know it won't be long before the CoV announces parking maximums for all new developments.

Lessons have been learned.
And Victoria became the talk of Canada for a while there.
What about the acceleration of the building code changes that were approved last night. Any chance there will be an impact there?

It's almost certain to impact affordability.
