The city's priority IMO should be to push the developers with deeper pockets to produce higher quality buildings. We see lots of nice stuff from companies like Core Urban who have been taking on smaller renos and projects, but when it comes to towers that we would hope will look good from far, what's proposed or built is often far from good.

We hear a lot of dithering from the DRP about height and density and what is appropriate for a particular neighbourhood, but what of aesthetics? Shouldn't THAT be their main focus?
