Interesting that he claims "missing middle" but the building is still largely one-bedroom units. Isn't missing middle generally 3+ beds, aimed at families?

I used to live near there growing up. There are very few homes that would be impacted from a shadow perspective. This seems like a good location for this project

What he referred to as "missing middle" was mid-market rental units, with mid-market pricing -- neither luxury not subsidized/income-geared. He also said that the demand (even for rental units!) is the strongest for one-bedroom units. So, that's what is continuing to be built. If there were thousands of renters looking for three-plus bedroom apartments, I am confident that Vive and others would be building more of those.
These complainers are the biggest bunch of crybabies around these days... the neighbourhood already has a tower that's across from Rockway Gardens. Oh no, the new tower is gonna ruin my view of a car dealership and dirty old red lobster.

I also think this is a strange neighbourhood complaint. I expect the existing Rockway neighbourhood and this development (if built) would have extremely limited interaction. King St with the divided lanes then Floral Crescent, it's almost like there are 3 roads between this development and any houses. There are also some decent size trees, and almost none of the houses on Floral Crescent even face in this direction.

An 8 story podium is quite imposing I must say. That's 1/3 of the total building height.

Why not just shut down council because no one wants to make a decision on anything until November

Isn't that democracy in it's purest form?

This build was approved last night at the council meeting (along with other approvals):

Funny how the mayor agreed with this because it meets many of the goals. He says people will always have resistance to change. However, when it came to the Victoria tower project, he had no problem voting it down even though it met the same goals and needs..

One difference is that this will be a rental building, whereas Victoria/Park would be condos. Is that the difference? Or is it because this one is further away from DTK?
