Yes, they made a token gesture when building the present school by saving the old stained glass windows from the kindergarten. of the old building. They are by J. McCausland of Toronto and depict several nursery rhymes...definitely from an era when schools were well thought out and architecturally interesting. No telling what will end up in the dumpster though since our "heritage designation" of buildings doesn't seem to carry any weight against developers...
There are certainly some questionably large developments in places, but your overall sentiment is not shared widely on UrbanToronto. Most people posting here seem happy that the city is getting denser, more lively, more interesting, and that development happens where we can service it more efficiently, while limiting the amount of farmland being plowed under for tract subdivisions around the periphery. I'd suggest reading more posts on UrbanToronto to update your QED take on things.
The problem is that Toronto is congested. If we build sprawl (which is what you seem to advocate for), then we will get more congestion, with more cars on the road.
Show me that's true. Is that even a good thing for affordability?
Don't see how this is relevant.
Stop right there, is it out of control? Or it that your opinion?
I understand. I'll look for a discussion board that wants to slow down a city undergoing constant construction, one that's anti-facadism and pro heritage, and one that supports "human scale" in development proposals abutting low rise residential neighbourhoods...
And? Negatives?
Who's anti-heritage?
Again, who's against that? Can you find some posts that supports that?
Can we just agree that the NEW building needs to restore the beloved "Heritage Chicken" at the first Step-Back..?
