TEK Tower (30 Francis) | 45 fl | U/C

Here's some bullshit drivel from The Record, as expected. Unsurprisingly, Debbie the Boomer Chapman is against it, stating that the city needs more parks...does she really expect them to build a park where this parking lot is? There does not seem to be any real argument in this op-ed piece, other than building tall, building bad, need more grass.

Lu*sa D'Am*to articles are literal toilet paper

I kind of stopped reading when she was saying something about mid-town Manhattan being dropping in DTK. Obviously, she's never been to Manhattan. This little building would be dwarfed by everything around it. Bottom line, DKT is growing. This - is - good. It's why we spent $1B for an LRT. We're getting rid of a parking lot, hardly used, and building a nice looking condo. Victoria Park is busy? This is a GOOD problem. It wasn't that long ago that people avoided that place. We WANT a busy park. We want a busy DTK. This is what we want. We don't get there by stopping/slowing progress.

We can either do this, or we can accelerate growth in the outskirts. Start merging the smaller communities just outside the city. Perhaps that's a better option. We can build a ring highway around the outskirts to accommodate traffic. That's the alternative.
