What a difference a road makes.
Above: a picture of Uplands Park - nothing but tree tops tossing their midsummer greenery all the way to the horizon. Below: a mere few feet away across the road from the park's edge, what looks like a warehouse or factory in mid-construction.
Puzzling contrasts in beauty and ugliness ... it is hard for most people to figure out what principles, if any, guide local municipalities in determining residential development permits and aesthetic standards for our neighbourhoods.
