Honestly the only disheartening thing I find in these pictures is the fact the Indigo right up to the corner faces the parking lots. It's a weird way to conform to policy while completely missing the intent. The economics that allow for highrise condos next to big-box stores is pretty baffling as well (well, ideologically at least), but it's a start. These areas are what will form new nodes in Toronto and I'm all for that.
I do take some affront to the comments about Meadowvale, since downtown didn't actually lose jobs in the the larger scheme of things. They were simply replaced by those that could command the higher rents of downtown office towers (but should they have gone to inner-suburbs in the 416 - TAXES).
