Be honest, do you think if the sheppard subway was completed, these towers would continue to be built?
Yes, just not there. The goal should be to further intensify all parts of the city, not just south of Bloor, and subways do that. LRT might do that too, but unless it's above grade it will always be limited to 10 minute frequencies, and it's a slower trip. Therefore less demand.
Edited to add:
I'm not against LRT. It would do wonders in Peel and Hamilton where you can be certain that they will never achieve densities to justify a subway system, at least not in the next 50 years. But North York, Scarborough and Etobicoke need to be on the subway route. I just don't see LRT connecting and intensifying those communities nearly as well as a well-developed subway system would.
