These view corridors are extremely anti-productive. I honestly cannot believe that people would listen to this. It is EXACTLY the same as the crazy people who complain about their balcony views because of a new condo going up.![]()
GUYS! This is Toronto! NOT a beautiful European city. YES protect the corridors we have left but remember most of our historical building are torn down and filled with condo's so we dont exactly have the "london situation"

And that perspective will ensure that what little soul remains in TO is beaten down and rubbed out completely. I get it, this is how Rob Ford got elected.
View corridors in London - in fact every significant European city -, are considered sacred. Hard to imagine Torontontonians, but these cities didn`t become the beautiful historic and striking modern places they are today by accident. They certainly didn`t get that way by letting development happen with almost no idea of the bigger picture. We are kids playing in the sand box, building the biggest city in the country.
You're honestly going to try to tell me that view corridors equate to productivity when Paris (just one example) has decided to build an entirely new area where there are no view corridors strictly because of how unproductive and how anti-progress the rest of the city has become (I'm referring to La Defense).
I truly hope, for your sake, that what you are saying is a joke.
