I googled "cookie-cutter" http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.p ... kie-cutter.

Forgive me, I have different vision for cookie cutter. Something like Mattamy builds right now or how they used to build decades ago.
Something like single car garage + one door wide only little houses.

I'm one. I live in a cookie cutter home and am quite happy with it. Thanks for asking!

It's not that you think bad about "liberals", it's the way you attack them that's uncomfortable/annoying/off base/etc. Stop using name calling, prejudice, and hateful comments that are not funny and only serve to distract from any argument that you are trying to make. Try to criticize their policies and mistakes with facts and analysis instead.

Sure.

All of the land east from Tremaine is designated to build anyway. And the "vision" of town is to dump as many "cookie cutters" as possible to have as much tax as possible. It seems...
Milton's east end "business village" project seems to be dead. Now somebody wants to bring jobs here, but town goes NIMBY.
The luck of vision it is.

Ask yourself, what will create more traffic? This place which will provide local jobs or another division of "eat, poop and sleep", where no jobs are?
One truck per minute, vs dozens of cars per minute is the most possible answer.

How about local town officials to have some vision and let CN in, but only if they will pay for Tremaine widening to accommodate trucks and to have CN pay for the exit at 401/Tremaine which is long time overdue.

Whoa!! wait wait!! Are you saying cookie cutter homes are not ideal in this globalize economy? In my sane opinion having a non cookie cutter zoning would not be good if it's up to the 99% budget.... After all we are unfortunately not as privilege as most 1%...

Have you seen the majority of not so cookie cut homes where roads cuts into your backyard right into your front yard where there's no lawn but simply a straight road or winding road right by your window? I would gladly pick the cookie cutter home unless I'm part of 1%...

Thank god cookie cutter homes were invented, it really did apply the organized look and feel of a decent neighborhood... I AM A PRO COOKIE CUTTER!!! CUT SOME MORE MATTAMY HOMES PLEASE!!!

But of course you may have a vision of a non cookie cutter homes and I respect that, but this is how I see how homes would look like for the rest of us if it ain't cookie cut...

No. This is not what I was saying at all. I said - town have enough land in the Tremain-JSP corridor (south) to build a lot of new subdivisions. Check plans available at milton.ca.
But.
This particular site which is close to train tracks and regional dumpster, is better to have some local jobs, IMO.
It is common sense which is still exists in some other places, where they don't build residential areas at the train tracks and major highways proximities, but industrial areas.

what about real estate prices for curent homes near tracks ? and the resale prospect for the hawthorne south phase ?

It's already across from the dump, don't know how much worse it could get. Surprised anyone wants to live there tbh. I'm near Dymott/Savoline and it smells bad enough some days, can't imagine being closer.
