Councillor Mike Klassen's patronizing LinkedIn rant on view cones

He says you don't understand view cones, because he doesn't get them himself

ABC Councillor Mike Klassen wrote a patronizing rant on Linkedin defending city council’s decision to potentially remove view cones.

He not only patronized Sandy James, a well-respected urban planning veteran and critic, but he also condescendingly implied that the rest of us lack a true understanding of view cones, because apparently he’s tried and failed to understand them himself.

You can read Klassen’s original LinkedIn post here endorsed by Councillor Peter Meiszner no less. Here’s Sandy James’ post they took issue with.

To make it easier for you to discuss this with friends and family over Thanksgiving dinner, we’ve broken down his post for you in detail:
