What Ottawa needs is a new Robert Campeau...a developer who believes in logical density and and has vision and isn't afraid of the old guard. I think things will change soon. The baby boomers are getting old and they seem to be the predominant generation of NIMBY's, and they are on every street and in almost every seat in city council. I feel the next generation of politicians and prominent residents will be far more accommodating to a new vision for Ottawa, one that matches the city in size and still respects the fact that it is the Capital. I don't think any of us on here who criticize the NIMBYs and the height restrictions want to destroy the damned sightlines to parliament hill. It's the rest of the city we're fighting for. When a developer is too scared to propose a building over 27 stories ANYWHERE in the core we have a problem. Time and patience, let's see what happens in five years!
