I think someone earlier (perhaps Keith) hit the nail on the head about the context of the area. Part of the issue is that you have a couple taller buildings which may not have gotten there because the City approved them (they could have been appeals that were won and over turned the City's decision). This is why planning applications are judged on the basis of their merits (case by case).

For me, I'm neither here nor there on this proposal. If it goes ahead or doesn't, I'm not going to lose a lot of sleep over. My concern is over the major corridors - but it does raise an interesting question that how much protection should 'established neighbourhoods' get?

I do agree with Counterfactual about the financial implications comments in reports. I know we here in Calgary are guilty of 'no impacts' or other generalized statements but we've been slowly realizing we need to post more.

Hali's comments about the Quinpool proposal and the recent lawsuit by a developer do concern me greatly...but I'll leave those comments for a different thread.
