You can't win. NIMBY's want their heritage, builders want their full-on new builds. Facadism is dumb, streets need their daylight. In certain situations, such as street corners, let the heritage remain, it adds character!
Also, good luck with Glebe NIMBY's on 'acquiring' 10 large heritage-area homes, demolishing them, and putting up a tower across the street from single-family residential properties. The buffer of this row of homes is exactly what's required here. Maybe its a bit 'abrupt', but the highway cutting a swath of noise and dirt is also abrupt.
