Discussions on blanket rezoning in Calgary hit a new high Tuesday night at a an open house in the city’s southeast.

Landon Johnston, the man known for starting the petition to recall Mayor Jyoti Gondek, was one of hundreds of people at a packed open house in Lake Bonavista to share their concerns with city-wide rezoning.

“We’re not happy with you,” he said to Ward 14 Coun. Peter Demong. “You’re supposed to be a leader, you’re supposed to be fighting for us every single day in office.”

“We’re fed up with this administration and council shoving their agenda down our throats and telling us to take it, and I think it shows that people are going to stand up and fight back against this,” Johnston added.

The city has been looking at boosting density in many neighbourhoods that currently only allow single-family housing.

The proposed change is based on recommendations from the housing strategy approved in September.

Demong says it’s clear from his constituents that many want nothing to do with blanket rezoning.
