I want to save heritage buildings, but this city needs those condo towers and the people and economic activity they would bring FAR more than it needs that old church. And I agree, it is pretty ugly and would need some serious work.
The city needs to prioritize revitalizing this area.... moving the men's shelter and filling in these lots. Driving east down york is one of the most depressing drives you can make in this city and there's no reason for it.

At this point I don't know it we NEED the condos - there are PLENTY being proposed and built at this point - one less won't hurt. I mean, look at how many are going to be built just across the street from this.
What we NEED are businesses and amenities.
