I'd agree with this.  I'm curious what, if anything, will be done to address this.  

Or is it even possible at this point?

I'm all for mixed usage, but this doesn't mean every place has to be that way. This development has a hotel and two office towers. Does it really need to have a restaurant at the bottom of each apartment tower to classify as ok? Will we demand that every house from now on should have a room dedicated for nonresident attraction? Or do we hold it to the more reasonable "something interesting not too far away"? 

Because this development certainly more than meets this criterion with their commercial development in site and literally dozens of points of interest (rec complex, PI, CCGG, CIGI, Proof, Sole, Church, Waterloo town shoppes, the atrium, uptown, waterloo park, the westmount mall, the button factory) all within a block and a half distance.

I agree, every location in waterloo doesn't need to be a destination, some palces will just be where people live and the only people who happen to go there will be people who live there. Otherwise we will run into the problem of if you really wanted to get to 2 particular destinations you will need a car because they are fairly far apart or would need 2 bus transfers to get there.
