Interesting - I would have to disagree.

I spent a lot of time this spring/summer/fall down at coronation park, the music garden and hanging out along the waterfront watching boats. Sugar beach is a huge attraction and is constantly busy. So is HTO park and Sherbourne Common. The city is currently constructing Love Park and will start on Rees Park soon enough. Parts of the accessible waterfront green spaces aren't even remotely close to tall buildings. The improvements made to queens quay with the new paving treatment / bike lanes are a huge hit (real life bike lane traffic in the summer is really something to see!)

Waters edge promenade has become a mega tourist attraction in the fall with folks flocking to see the row of red maples, plus all of the work on the lower don lands with the future villiers island is about to essential quadruple accessible green spaces along the waterfront.

I will agree that it can feel disconnected due to the rail line / highway, but I don't think it has anything to do with the heights of buildings. Regardless, the crowds at the waterfront throughout all seasons point to it largely being a success vs a failure. Fortunately there is enough residential density to support a variety of business along the water.
