It's the same with Toronto. People love to cite cityplace/the south core as reasons to be against height - but you can't make a call about an entire city when you're judging it based on the part you drive through when you're going to a hockey game or to the ROM.

It doesn't seem fair to lump people into one of two categories: for or against height. I think each site is unique and any buildings should be carefully designed for each site. Terracing of heights is important (not just terracing stories of an individual building, but terracing of different buildings in relation to eachother) and Toronto does it for a reason - to ensure access to views, light, for both residents and pedestrians alike.
