I'm being optimistic, but as these current in-progress and future developments show, not overly so. This enthusiasm is realistic.

It's definately an interesting time to be studying architecture in this city. It's still incredibly fustrating to see such a pervasive cant-do attitude with regards to urban development (I've lived in/visited cities throughout Canada and Europe and have never encountered anything quite like it), but great projects like this, King's Wharf, the Seaport area/farmer's market, etc seem to suggest that Halifax is finally starting to turn a corner; even if it seems like most Haligonians are being dragged around it kicking and screaming.
