Hands down, no contest. The Bosa team was far more responsive and respectful. They took the time to explain their ideas, then listen – really listen – to feedback. Most of the time that constructive criticism could be seen reflected in revisions. It wasn’t usually exactly what was suggested, but I could see there was real consideration to the concerns or effort to incorporate the principles discussed. Sometimes they offered a fully detailed explanation of why they wouldn’t or couldn’t pursue a suggestion. They honoured the parameters set by the City. They stayed within the limits set by the City’s rules. They engaged fully and clearly demonstrated respect for the community. It certainly makes me feel far more confident in the Bosa team. Hopefully Coast Capital and the Cooperators will take some notes as they watch the Bosa proposal blaze past them.
