The public has an image of the Ontario Municipal Board as a place where city
staff make righteous arguments in the public interest, only to be stomped on by
a developer-friendly board. At least when the city is facing off against a
developer and his band of experts, it might be considered a fair fight. That
certainly wasn’t the case at a recent hearing where the city took a homeowner to
the OMB to defend a policy that either doesn’t make sense or is beyond the
ability of city staff to explain. via
