'Wrecking' was too harsh, but they certainly bore me to tears. I much prefer Vancouver in post # 2432! Now that's what I like a city to look like: variety of styles, architecture, heights, colours, materials, and built right out to the lot line to form a strong apron. It looks absolutely fabulous! A
few glass condos to the lot line add visual interest, but not a sea of them and not set back from the street.
Stone, metal, brick, different colours, shapes, even pre-cast, mix of office/residential/institutional, different styles of architecture? Just not all the same material, all the same usage, all the same style, basically all the same shape, all the same colour. Good grief!

Love it, that is my favorite skyline angle of any Canadian city. The true dense urban vibe and colours in that photo is amazing.
