This comment is everything. When I first started lurking this forum over 10 years ago now, all that mattered to me were tower heights and soaring skylines. Since then, I've lived in Vancouver, Montreal and Toronto and can confirm that heights now mean way less to me at this stage, especially when it comes to the at-grade experience and overall architecture and quality. I'll take a stroll in Montreal's old port over a walk along Toronto's King Street any day.
I see where you're coming from here with the midrise vs highrise but King seems like an odd choice to illustrate this point. Nothing too exciting happening from about York to Simcoe from a pedestrian perspective but pretty much the rest of the street has very solid architecture and urban vibe.
I think it looks pretty good up close, all of the designs kind of work together. It's obvious it's a 100% residential skyline but I don't find it any less or more impressive based on veiwing distance. Unlike Missassauga.
