15 storeys - are you kidding me?

I live directly behind the Days Inn and a building of this size in this location is going to have nothing but a negative impact for the 15 houses that will (literally) be in it's shadow. We are pretty much all townhouses or semi-detached and only have windows at the back (facing north east) and front (facing south west).

View from kitchen window and living room will be 100% building


View from only 2nd floor window in back


View from back deck - I could not zoom out enough to get in what would be the full perimeter of the building


View of the sun rising. The edge of the proposed building would go to where you see the man standing in the laneway


I can't even imagine what this will look like with the sheer height of this building 3m away from other properties - a 50m wall of brick rising straight up with no beautification or green space in between.


With the current apartment to the east (seen in pictures) and the subsidised apartment buildings directly to the west and across the street to the south (not shown) I feel like they are trying to confine us in some type of tall building box

Don't even get me started on the whole false "affordable housing" marketing of this project and asking for City of Hamilton subsidies to build this monstrosity behemoth https://www.thepublicrecord.ca/2017/...-market-rates/. I'll be at the upcoming meeting to voice my concerns.
