Bizarro world.
Gets better.
It's not near the proposed GO Station and its not on Highway 2, it's in a farmer's field at the northern edge of the developed area.

Even if this proposal were more professional/thought out this is not an appropriate location at all. Should get a Refusal Report.

Not sure I agree re refusal, unless site servicing is insufficient. I certainly agree it is a ridiculous proposal and not one that you could pay me to live in, but if there are enough people actually willing to purchase/rent in these future ridiculous buildings, it still is density that does its bit in avoiding the need for single-family homes on nearby farmland...

I understand your logic above, but I would be looking at the resulting car traffic on a relatively small street in front of a High School, and the limited potential for any ridership for either transit service in the Hwy 2 corridor or on the GO line we're set to spend a bundle on.........and still say 'no'.
Let's encourage that development adjacent to the proposed GO Stations and along the #2 corridor.
If the current farmland could not be viably retained as such, or purchased for parkland, then I think it would be more apt to look at something like 3-storey walk-ups, multiplexes etc. on a limited expansion of the current street grid.
