"We want to attract more people to the core" but let's only approve of mediocre projects, which are now starting to not be worth the investment (if the developers are telling the truth). If you want people in the cores, build the homes required to permit that. Don't delegate them to being suburban developments. Toronto didn't become Toronto by limiting density height in the downtown and making people build elsewhere, for example.
That's an awfully big "if". Perhaps if they offered to open their books as part of the claim .....
Personally, I think the proposed tower looks better than 144 and the extra height is fine.
