Everyone here knows I'm not a height obsessor, but this is reasonable for the area. I spoke out in favour of this particular development and others in Burlington when I lived there.

Actually, I found the exact article I was quoted in: https://www.thespec.com/news/hamilton-re...but-height-concerning-residents-say.html

Quote:
Chris Ritsma, 22, admitted he wants to move downtown and as a young person, he was excited about "this kind of development."

"I'm not sure about the exact height or if it's appropriate for the location, but I often hear people my age calling Burlington, 'borington,' and stuff like this brings people and vibrancy to the downtown," he said.
Keeping in mind there were like 25 comments against the height at this point, so I didn't want to give yet another opinion about the height. So I commented on a positive aspect of the development. This was nearly 5 years ago too.
