Adam, new developments are certainly not my personal preference, but lets not paint with wide brushstrokes here. There are some quality neighbourhoods to be found in the south mountain. Besides, given recent and current projects in the city core, disposable and cheap are now the city-wide standard for deelopments. The mountain is just as cheap and disposable as the lower city.

Believe it or not Mark, the houses in the new subdivisions are built with the same poor quality as the roads. It wouldn't make sense to build roads that will last longer than the houses.
The lower city on the other hand is seeing quality upgrades to match the quality of the buildings (many have been standing for 100 years or more). Look at Ferguson, the plan for York Blvd., etc. Even the concrete coating on city hall, while I think it tinkers with the heritage value of the building, is going to last a long time.
