The other aspect is retail - if we want to get serious about improving vibrancy in Centretown we can't have entire blocks on major streets like Bank almost entirely vacant of retail tenants.
It's easy to feel bad for those being displaced, but overall projects like this align with our goals as a city in terms of housing and revitalization.
Not to mention, someone in that building loves illegally feeding wildlife, leading to toxic pigeon sh*t blanketing the sidewalk and street.

Banks st, north of Somerset is a wasteland at the moment. I walked from Rideau to Billings a few days ago and I want to say 50% of the storefronts are vacant.
