The Toronto TOD is a tale of two blocks. One block is uncharacteristically considerate of its surroundings and interesting while the other is overpowering and boring. Overcompensating to create the sensitive block is a strong argument that would be popular on Urbantoronto. I'd rather have two considerate, interesting blocks even if it meant fewer units and a lower land/sale value. The overall neighbourhood wasn't planned for a large influx of units in these few blocks nor is this vision independently self sufficient.
And, of course, the organically developed incubators currently housed in these buildings will be lost forever.
