I've read a few comments that referenced that, and I certainly disagree with it, but I'm wondering if anyone specifically argued for it?
If so, the ship has sailed, obviously: Uptown is already more developed than St. Jacobs' core (as appropriate).
I would suggest that the floor and height limits on King Street and how far back they reach from King Street, towards Regina/Caroline, are effectively pushing for a St.Jacob's-esque core, coupled with the neighbourhood associations wanting zero change within their neighbourhoods. Have we reached a decade of waiting for the Alexandra School development to happen?
