An Acknowledgement
Yesterday I wrote what could be deemed a very heavy broadside commentary piece against a North Shore Local Board member and her comments in the Herald on Sunday in regards to The Block.
The said commentary can be found here: The Block, The Unitary Plan And What?
I have acknowledged feedback that the commentary in the said post is the equivalent of taking a nuke to cracking a walnut open rather than being more “tactful” in response to the comments made in the particular Herald article yesterday. Using the nuke approach has caused upset on the North Shore and again I have acknowledged this as such.
I could write a whole spiel on errors from yesterday but that would be inconsiderate. Needless to say there were errors yesterday and errors I picked up on as well. But with the errors there are ways of handling them including using a nuke. That particular option was not the best option given
My indiscretion from yesterday has been noted and will follow-up with more appropriate responses next time such an article from the MSM comes to light.
In saying that our old buddy Orsman has written a piece on the Unitary Plan…
Time for a look 😀

In light of what Jan has previously written about the UP, I think your commentary was spot on. She didn’t even need to bring the UP into the article.
Agreed. But in light of annoying The North Shore – while the context of the article is indeed spot on, as I said should have I taken to the matter with a nuke or a hammer?
After Orsman’s piece this morning it seems 2040 is coming back into my cross hairs quickly after the rules around three storey buildings could become much harder – annoying me and most like a lot of others. Hence 2040 be forewarned that another nuke could be lobbed if it cam be implied that you made the rules around 3 storey residential buildings a lot harder than what is necessary
