LONDON, ONT. New details about a proposed apartment building and its tenants is opening the hearts and minds of some neighbours. In January, opposition to an affordable housing project at 18 Elm St. sparked a debate in London about the need for established neighbourhoods to accept public housing developments. More than 80 neighbours in the Hamilton Road and Elm Street area had signed a petition based on rumours that City Hall intended to build affordable housing on the site of the former Holy Cross Elementary School. “The concern is that additional affordable housing will harm the area since it already consists entirely of affordable housing,” stated the petition.
