What's troublesome is that our city leaders just don't care about design. As long as a developer wants to build something, it's fine no matter what it looks like. This city, for the most part, has no class. I guess that we can't totally blame politicians though as there is no outcry from the people of London. Londoners want the cheapest taxes possible and that's the main goal of the city - to have low taxes. Everything else is secondary.

I think the lack of good design will have the opposite effect of what the city desires long term. If you want people to live downtown, make the downtown a beautiful place, full of buildings we are proud of. Don't just throw up towers that are the equivalent of cookie cutter subdivisions in the suburbs.
