It certainly points toward a number of divisions in the business community, in terms of their opinions and amount of influence on council. The Chamber of Commerce seemed to think LRT was pretty rad, as did many others. So who's this clan of businessmen who aren't intersted at all? The Red Hill references to the development industry certainly suggest a list of names (DeSantis, Dufferin etc), but only a fairly informal association, sometimes known as the "old boys network" or with other vague terms.

Perhaps, before we ask why those in charge aren't willing to be 'ambitious' on this issue, we first need to ask who's actually in charge. Let's not pretend that we don't all have a pretty good idea of who calls the shots at City Hall...

"Today, the notion of progress in a single line without goal or limit seems perhaps the most parochial notion of a very parochial century." — Lewis Mumford
