Whippersnapper is only referring to "the business end of development" to justify why 8 of Toronto's last 8 office towers are and should be blue boxes. Debatable... but we're here to talk about architecture; that's why when yet another forumer brings up that cliche about Vancouver's "sea of blue/green glass" you'd never hear me bumbling about market forces and buyer preferences
But yeah, everything he said about sightlines, liveability, softening the public realm, etc, I'm a big fan. I laugh at those who fetishize Manhattan.
