Your City Hall is too quiet for comfort this week

Good morning from the Fundy shore — the tide's turning, and so is New Brunswick. Let's get into it.

I'll tell you what, it's been a real 'wait and see' kind of week down at City Hall, and that usually makes me a bit antsy, right? We've been watching the development permits like a hawk, trying to figure out if we're getting more of those shoebox condos blocking the harbour view or if there's actually something sensible in the pipeline.

The Big Quiet

It’s been so quiet you can practically hear the tide turning down by Long Wharf. Here's what we *haven't* seen:

* No big announcements on infrastructure, which is always a concern with spring thaw on the horizon.

* No new data from the open portal, which is a bit like finding an empty lobster trap — disappointing, right?

* Just a lot of that slow, steady hum of things happening behind closed doors, which can be good, or it can be… well, it can be something else entirely.

It makes you wonder what's really brewing, especially with all the talk about growth and trying to get folks to stick around past university. We need more than just quiet promises, right? We need action that actually helps the people living here, not just the next big project.
