The two-story detached homes beside and across the street are the things that need to change, not a decrease in urban density within 500-600m of the central transit hub.
Not saying this is you specifically saying so, but the idea that single-family homes or even converted multiplex homes are worth a permanent impact on new development in an area where the SDHs are the outlier to city plans drives me nuts. Nothing in that block around Victoria/Park should be shorter than 3-stories and its an enormous waste of valuable space now with a bunch of converted offices that could all fit into 1-2 properties and free the rest up for more housing units near urban amenities.
No doubt we'll hear some "decreasing my land value" and "forcing a change in my lifestyle" complaints for people who don't realize they've appreciated into a lottery ticket and are living in an city plan from decades ago. Going to be yelling as loudly as possible in opposition to that viewpoint as I can.
Lots in this development that that could improve and just about none of it has to do with massing/buffer zones/height which will be far and away the primary complaint of the loudest in the area.
