Wow. I'm surprised, even in the Beaches, that this has happened.

I understand if it's already been designated as a heritage property you don't want to make an exception, but to put the process in place after a property's been bought for that express purpose is rough on everybody, and pretty backhanded. If it was that unique, the heritage designation should already have been there

I understand the concerns of the neighbours about preserving unique architecture and character, and I understand that real estate in the Beaches is a crazy, crazy market where properties get renovated and bought out and changed dramatically all the time. (A friend was a nanny for a family out there, and other friends who still live in the neighbourhood).

I think this is probably a case of a few "watchdog" individuals hypersensitive about the issue trying to apply it equally to all the cases they see... and forgetting about the real people involved.
