Just wait until the legions of apartment buildings currently underway are occupied. That alone will push the density up a ways.

There are 24 rental buildings underway on the Westshore, all but three are in Langford and Colwood.

Let’s say they’re 50-units each, on average, which gives us 1,200-units and 1,700 to 1,800 residents. Most of these buildings will be completed by year’s end.

That being said I actually think the average might be closer to 60-units.

A letter in today's TC

Only in Victoria could one find one-third of the letters to the editor mourning the loss of a beloved tree. Is there a connection somewhere to Victoria being the most loving city in our country? OMG, I am so glad I live here!

I almost don't have the heart to tell Ms Stirrett she doesn't live in Victoria, but I will. And although her comments are rather sweet, I need to add that since she is not a resident of the CoV, what we do with our trees, is really of none her business. Does she realize how many trees have been lost to rapid development in her municipality?

^I think maybe she is happy she is living in Langford rather than Victoria, as am I.

Then be happy about living in Langford.

However, the implications of "there a connection somewhere to Victoria being the most loving city in our country? OMG, I am so glad I live here!" do not indicate anything about Langford being where she is happy to be living.

Maybe she doesn't like loving cities, maybe she's just a happy person, maybe she had Cheerios for breakfast. Relax, you're supposed to be on vacation.

At which point the discount margaritas start flowing?

Nah, have my own bar in the villa. A 1.75 of Vodka is $14 dollars. Add some orange and mango puree, and soda to my 40 oz insulated sippy cup and I am set for the afternoon!
