Funny, I did the exact same thing as soon as the docs were posted. Great minds think alike. I copied the same councillors but included Sutcliffe as well. I spoke about how imposing “token” height reductions to appease NIMBYs barely makes a real difference to a building’s presence at street level. I also spoke about how wasting opportunities to maximize housing supply on ideal parcels such as this one would be a source of deep regret a few decades down the road.
I doubt they ever get much feedback that’s actually in favour of a proposal so they gravitate towards appeasing NIMBYs. I hope this proposal breaks the trend because it would be a real game changer for Centretown. Hope I get a chance to see this one rise from my apartment.
