I invite you to volunteer a few hours and maybe spend some time in Planning on Dundas Street, or Development Services at City Hall.
If you think it's a quick fix, or that City Staff are able to just dictate what needs to built and where, you have a lot to learn.
Also, if you think Planning staff doesn't understand, you're out to lunch. Perhaps various City Committees and City Council on the whole might not grasp 'good planning/design', but that's entirely different than Planning staff.
