in my defense, im a pretty optimistic guy, but sometimes having a bad day can lower my optimism and i guess that's what happened when i made that comment.Frankly I'm just tired of all this down-beaten pessimism for literally any project that hasn't even broken ground. We're already pleasantly surprised by the quality so far. Seems like half the posts in here are just nay-sayers and Toronto-bashers.
Well we've definitely all been therein my defense, im a pretty optimistic guy, but sometimes having a bad day can lower my optimism and i guess that's what happened when i made that comment.
Some people having bad days everyday on here it seems these days...
Great job! And to think some buildings are missing from this already-huge future skyline, like 160 Front, 200 Queens Quay, Canada House, 212 King St W...wowAnother fun little photoshop experiment, here's One Yonge (along with some other major projects) on the skyline. I did this pretty quick so the perspective may be off in places but it gets the idea across!

While we stuck with a monotony of spandrel grey boxes trying to be the taller version of Brampton. Didn't cha know? >.>I repudiate straight-up Toronto bashing where I see it as unfair (for example bashing something that in fact compares favourably to other jurisdictions; or implying certain problems are unique to this City when they are not).
Finding the balance between optimism and pessimism can be a challenge.
Yet, I find you one of the best at spearing things that need to be speared. So please don't ever change. /bowsIndeed it can - I frequently find myself falling to the dark side.
On my better days, I manage to suppress caustic commentary and simply click on the sad or angry face emojis!
Good thing UT has more than one reaction type rather than only a simple "Like."Indeed it can - I frequently find myself falling to the dark side.
