This thread is so often rife with anger
and strong debate
,.... More than any other Building, the updates are few and far, but the complaints are frequent.
Sure its not without flaw, but seriously......the way people seem to think that every project is gonna be of the quality of super high end, four star projects is laughable, this and MLS and Cityplace aren't being built for multi millionaires, but young, and up and coming investors and businesmen. Single people wanting to escape commutes, and sterile cul de sacs. Its not meant for Sir Roland Haghner and his high falootin poodle kennel. They belong in Ritz, ShangriLa, and Trump.
UPTOWN is 1,000 Xs sexier, than any 2500 sf house in the burbs, cut off from 3am pizza delivery, walking to a Jays game, and sitting down by the Lake, then hitting up that new bar on Bremner, and we gonna grill up on the 44th floor of Rays place at the Uptown......Your paying for the lifestyle, you want a gated home in Rockwood, were happy for you. This tower serves a purpose, and it's not about marble hallways, it's urban living , at a younger/lower economic bracket, how can you not celebrate that???
The people who are gonna live there, aint going to be as worried about this as some of you are.
For a NA city to embrace density, reverse sprawl, and encourage public transit, these towers must exist. For it not to look like most of St Jamestown, but rather a fine precast impression of a bygone era classic, is welcome and amazing. If you don't like density, maybe town homes, and a lawn mower are for you.
