I find it so sad that the worst developers in this region are buying up all the best land during this construction boom. Their terrible buildings are going to be a stain on our skyline for the next century and when more reputable developers want to start building here, all those good locations are going to be gone already and filled with their trashy work. Sadly, everyone at the City of Kitchener/Waterloo/Cambridge who works on council or in the planning department is evidently so short sighted that they somehow can't look at these proposals and stop to think "hmm, this looks awful, we should object to the design". They basically just rubber stamp any proposal they get with no thought.
Unless I'm badly mistaken, the planning department cannot deny any application based on the design, if the proposal is within the zoning bylaws.
A design panel, sure, if we had one.
