[H2O]

I can't imagine how Toronto could build much of anything without allowing towers above heritage buildings (or facades at least) or just completely demolishing them as they used to. The majority of building facades they are preserving are pretty run of the mill in Toronto yet are significantly larger and more elaborate than even the grandest historic structures in Austin. I think the DAA should start funding Toronto historic preservation tours for members of Heritage Austin and the Historic Landmark Commission. Then they could actually walk down the streets and realize it is possible to keep the historic streetscape experience and meet modern development needs at the same time.
