I wouldn’t mind if most downtown Chinatown (at least along Dundas & Spadina) is replaced with this type of building, provided they have retail at the base that accommodates current businesses.

Wow, a 170k sq ft Eataly in Rome! I'll need to check it out when I'm there. In Italy I've only been to the Bologna store - multi-levels (about 5) but fairly narrow. I bought a cinghale (boar) ragu there - loved it and was disappointed when I couldn't (still can't) find it here. I guess boars...
