I would much rather have a series of 60 story building that are really innovative.
There is a cluster of GREAT designs proposed for west Georgia. I love those .. repeat .. love those.
The city of van should be encouraged to make those west Georgia buildings happen.
Great design, not just height make for a great city.
Kudos to the people who put up the BC Tel building on Georgia at Seymour/Richards. The cantilever over Seymour is brilliant.
Give people who do that density options, reduced amenity costs, fast track planning and approval ... with my blessing.

I like the skyline to vary in heights, and a series of 60 storey buildings just don't work for me (no matter how innovative they are), especially if you view the city from afar. Table-topping as most call it is definitely a no-no for me. When people call for taller structures, why would others immediately jump to the conclusion and automatically assume that they don't care about the aesthetics? Can't a building be really tall and beautiful as well?
BTW, BC Tel is a rather old school name. It's called Telus now. And I do love this building, but many others don't.
