Where is the mayor's logic?

Intriguing comment by the mayor, as quoted in Theresa McManus' article and your editorial: "We have no room without destroying our neighbourhoods and ... parks."   

No more room for more people to travel through New Westminster in their cars, but lots more room for adding more people and cars in the city. I presently count about a dozen (that's 12) new highrises either being planned or under construction in the city.

How is there "room" for one but not the other? 

What are we missing? Could someone please explain!
