Nothing offensive about that post. He's right, the view cones are on the West Side of Vancouver, primarily on the South Side of False Creek.
They are a hurdle to development, and protect views for too few people to justify their use.
Am I all for unmanaged, out of control, tall towers everywhere? Absolutely not, but the cones need a solid review and reconsideration.
It seems far from logical to not allow the development of significant projects, in one of the mostly densely populated downtown areas based on a few sight lines that maybe a hundred people view a day.
I think this is also more important now than ever, as the amount of building sites in Downtown dwindles, it would be nice to get an iconic tower to exceed the current skyline.
