If we end up with suburban style box garbage on the Yards lands it will be a profound waste of opportunity to improve the aesthetics and liveability of downtown and the Warehouse district. Is it too much to ask that we have decent options for those who would like to choose a more urban lifestyle? Speaking of that, my pipe dream is still to build rapid bus transit down a centre corridor of Arcola/Sask Drive with terminus adjacent to the bypass at Arcola and beside the Canada Post building with footbridge to the Yards. Off topic!

Completely disagree. Not only will this idea prevent development writ large, your views of architecture are outdated and stale.
To limit the styles to kitschy, old desings results in bad outcomes, not good.
