The sad reality is... we aren't even talking about "tall buildings" here... sure Skye and Twisted Sisters would be in the tall category, but there is also constant opposition against mid-rise developments, less than 20 stories. The YMCA project is a prime example.
Skye is a bit over the top for me, but the twisted sisters would have been built and we wouldn't even be talking about this if there weren't all of these groups acting independently, but somewhat in concert, in the downtown and peninsular Halifax. If its not heritage, its the b/s kids and community argument, or even condo owners in nearby "tall" buildings who don't want to lose "their view".
If the 19 story building on Robie isn't approved, we've got a serious problem in this city because if they don't allow density there... where is it going to go? I see major sprawl on the horizon for the city.
