I will be really annoyed if this project is not approved as is.
The city is growing and developments like this is exactly what is needed this close to the major transit hub and King Street. The real issue here is not this project but single family homes next to the transit hub. The city made a mistake by allowing residents next to major roads, transit hubs and downtowns to have a say in what will be developed. They will always revert to NIMBYism and generally don't want anything intense to be built next to them. I wouldn't either. But that's not managing growth. That's just an investment in keeping everything as it is. We should be thrilled that someone is willing to build offices that will bring more jobs downtown. I suppose they could always say, "screw you, we'll build it in Toronto."
I will be watching how politicians vote on this project. I will not support those who are opposed.
