come on dude, my post was hardly hyperbolic... the fact that some of the crappy buildings on Bremner will be hidden by other crappy buildings on Bremner doesnt really refute my argument. It's my opinion that I dont like this new "masterplanned neighbourhood" that is filled with very little variety. If it's not yours thats fine. Enjoy all the new construction...
I couldn't agree more. The skyline from the south once had a gorgeous and notable view that included the TD Centre and the Royal York etc. Now? A hastily and thoughtlessly assembled jumble of the mundane with each new one pretty much indistinguishable from the other in blandness. I'm not suggesting that nothing should have been built here or that the city should have demanded icons. On the contrary, the site was spectacular and all that was needed was good design and good planning. I guess some here are just happy to fill in open spaces and happy to have tall buildings. Makes 'em feel all New Yorky when they walk around perhaps... not that anyone really walks around in 'Southcore' (puke) do they?
