That's wonderful, really maximizing the limited spaces we have on the peninsula......

Well, when there is no land left on the peninsula... things will have to change.
The idea that this centre plan is set in stone forever is not true.
It may be seen as a success in terms of getting things approved... yet, it would seem that even buildings that meet the requirements are subject to the court of public opinion. This being said, the plans will have to grow with the city and so will the mentality of people.
When there is no land left, there won't be a choice to build squat buildings.
Is the one for the corner lot of Windsor / Young grandfathered in? Or will it too become a victim of the height phobia or ridiculous limits imposed in this area?
