However, it'll likely be approved since this in on an LRT line, and intensification needs to be done around that area. Really, this is ground central for the LRT, people living in that area will be surrounded by castle in the sky in about 10 years or so.

Out of curiosity, blocking your view of what? I can see that, if you have a view of something (I don't know what- anything, I guess) unique, there might be a complaint if you can't see it any more. I can see, in downtown Toronto, losing a view of the lake because of a wide building across the street might be worth a complaint. But, in this case, are we just talking about losing a view of the sky in one direction? Can't you just look in the other direction? Our neighbourhood won't actually be "surrounded" for a long, long while.

I'm thinking that they'll be missing the afternoon sun, more importantly, during BBQ season. Though I might be wrong.

Personally though, even if I was in that area, I wouldn't be fighting it. I'd think my home would be worth so much more now, being close to Google and to the central station, it makes it worth while.
