Ya back then we let crazy things like the market dictate our downtown skyline instead of socially engineered artificial constraints. Wacky times indeed  |
Sure they got some towers built but I think that everyone in the city was rabidly in favour of development might not be an accurate depection of the era. No doubt the developers had a strong hold on the council but then how can you see the sudden reversal (sure some of it was economic) but a lot of it was "too much, too soon"
