The Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) recently handed down a decision to deny the residents of West Queen West Triangle in Toronto the right to plan for the growth and sustainability of the artist community based there.

Active 18 formed to oppose condos proposed for the site that did not take into consideration the surrounding neighbourhood, need for green space, or the historical and living importance of a heritage building on the site that houses about 80 artists and businesses. Active 18 were "YIMBY"s who are not afraid of development in their community, understanding the need for density to combat urban sprawl and smog from commuter traffic.
