Imagine Devimco heads doing a double take when they find out that by doing a little window dressing, they have even more power than they thought. The City doesn’t give a shit.

I am at a loss as to how the adopted PPU could be worse. Presumably in its submission Devimco propsoed to retain or rebuild a certain number of buildings. Why would the city, in response to concerns that not enough was being preserved, ask or allow Devimco to demolish more than it asked for? Is this really correct? Now I'm alarmed.
