That's what I thought. I just don't get it. Competing with Asia height wise is out of the question and the list of metropolises with supertalls is not exactly impressive. Every couple of week someone posts almost the exact same thing with no explanation as to why and with an air of hubris in light of the condo boom's accomplishment. We will have statistically distanced ourselves from the rest of the Canada/US pack and will be looking ahead to Chicago whether FCP gets surpassed or not and, despite the recent release of supertall visions, it doesn't look like we will surpass FCP anytime soon.
