So we shouldn't build housing along a subway line?

We have a housing crisis, where do you expect people to live? Ideally yes we'd just replace the yellow belt instead but we all know that isn't going to happen so what is the answer if we cant build there and we can't build here?

As others have mentioned - this isn't an argument against intensification, but that this is an example of what should be preserved during that process. Not everything can and should be saved, but it seems that we have tilted to the nonsensical position that nothing but 2 story houses can be preserved as is without any ridiculous addition, no matter their worth (another case in point - 1 Front). Our built form reflected this extreme bifurcation.

This is NOT an attractive addition to our city. It is nonsense to build housing just because it is housing on a transit line or not. Especially if it is at the expense of an existing 'heritage' structure.
 
I like the redesign a lot! Also it looks so much better now compare to the first renderings. It retains the look of the heritage podium. We need more of this!
