toronto's supposed lack of 500+ footers is really more academic than anything else beause downtown toronto is huge and vibrant and PACKED with highrises. true, it might not have dozens upon dozens of buildings over 500 feet, but it has a crapload of towers just under that range to give it that bonafide "Big City" feel. it's not like you could ever mistake downtown toronto for downtown milwaukee just because toronto doesn't have dozens towers over 500'. toronto is the real urban deal, and they're rapidly building taller these days, so this point will become rather moot in the not too distant future anyway.
