If you want to pick on CityPlace, that is fine, but that is an especially hideous point of view / photo. https://i.imgur.com/RKAhkqO.jpg https://i.imgur.com/RK

If you want to pick on CityPlace, that is fine, but that is an especially hideous point of view / photo. https://i.imgur.com/RKAhkqO.jpg https://i.imgur.com/RKAhkqO.jpg is my view (I just took this photo now) and http://vikpahwa.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/20140606_5407.jpg http://vikpahwa.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/20140606_5407... is my condo (second from the right of the four main condos). I agree that festival tower and the entertainment district is nicer, but it is also way louder, and I like quiet when I code so I moved out of that part of town. But Toronto is currently building 130 towers in multiple neighborhoods, so to pick on the most controversial ones isn't really a rebuttle. Can you show an example of any 40+ story residential building that you like?

Ah, didn't mean to pick a misleading photo. Just searched "toronto new condos" and tried to use one that showed the streetscape. I was actually talking about what it's like to walk around in neighborhoods - what's it like at street level in your area? I can't think of 40+ residential buildings that I like, but that's at least partly because there aren't any in my area. My point was that we used to build dense, low rise neighborhoods. But I like Manhattan, are some of those residential buildings 40+? Manhattan's a great example of a dense, walkable area that's pleasant to be in.
