He added that new homeowners could benefit from rebates and grants totalling as much as $16,000. He also sees an eventual tramway route running from Blue Bonnets (where more housing development is possible), through NJT, along Côte des Neiges Rd., into the downtown core. The NJT development plan is facing criticism from housing and community groups. Denyse Lacelle, the coordinator of the Corporation de Développement Communautaire de Côte des Neiges (CDC), recently told The Suburban that she fears NJT projects are geared, not toward families as the borough is suggesting, but toward so-called "DINKS;" young couples with "double incomes and no kids." "We need to make sure that social housing will be built inside the sector," Lacelle said, pointing out that she appreciated the borough's efforts and some social housing off-site on Sax St. is better than none at all. "Having a strip of housing with poor people and high rises around them with high-income people... you're creating all the conditions for conflict, social tension." Rotrand defended the Vue project, insisting that "we're not gentrifying. We're only meeting the needs of the upscale market." Politics aside, for new homeowners eligible for generous city grants and tax exemptions, NJT is hard to resist. "It's the best location," said Azzi. "I got lucky.
