Wow now the city wants to have a say on what work can be done on the inside of a private residence, i agree on the exterior of historical significant buildings but inside a private residence i don't agree with, if the city thinks it's so historic then buy it so that the city can open a museum for people to see this historical gem.

Rich people problems. At a time of global pandemic and immense suffering, this is nauseatingly elitist and tone deaf. Architects and their hangers-on, the critics, do themselves no favours by indulging in the dead-end distractions of an infinitesimally small and incestuous subgroup of privileged "tastemakers." Bringing up Johnson's Nazi sympathies doesn't lend this nonsense any more relevance or potency.

From the article:
“The retired co-founder of wealth management firm Gluskin Sheff, he started his career as an architect, and the couple has a long record as design patrons and philanthropists.”

Please tell us all about your philanthropic activities. We’ll be waiting.

My latest philanthropic endeavour is sparing the world from having to listen to my multimillion dollar penthouse renovation woes.

Spending tens of millions of dollars on a friggin' penthouse then jerking off over its re-do is self-philanthropy. Oh, and then using privileged media access based on wealth for self-serving press coverage from a compliant architecture critic, bitching to him about not getting your way, all during a devastating pandemic. Yeah, real philanthropic. Barf.

Apologies to the Rosen clan, but I preferred the site w/the Cumberland arthouse cinema on it.
