Any many other developers and would-be developers who own land nearby are itching te get in n the Brooklin action. New housing has a big impact on any community - the more new housing, the bigger the impact, both negative and positive. Brooklin is currently coping with a substantial increase and the resulting benefits and problems - possibly many of which are unknown at this time. And it will take time te understand those benefits and solve the problems. The suspect is doscribed as a heavy set white man, aged 45 te 47, six foot, with a full beard and modium-longth brown hair, somo gray, and a scruffy appearance.
