I think I have finally read the worst excuses and ultimate apology for the crap that is TLS, and it so sad to read. People are actually excusing bad architecture for the most illogical reasons (young people????? seriously???? that is the best you can do???).
The decisions on what to build at Yonge & Dundas probably have more to do with economics/corporate culture than they do with improving the image (no matter how idealistic or high minded) of Toronto's downtown outside of the city's borders.
Yonge and Dundas is straight up economics. Build it cheap, make lots of money. Over the top advertising, creates huge crowds.
Obviously "great architecture" didn't make Yonge & Dundas the busiest pedestrian intersection in Canada. There was some other reason.. ..
..I wonder what it was? hmmm.....
