Its too bad but I also don't like the idea to tear down the existing midrise buildings for the new developments unless the the old ones have the safety and structural issue.

Yes, there's plenty of underdeveloped lots in this city. A lot with a 13 storey tower is not one of them. Especially when you take into consideration what would be lost is likely a lot more affordable than what would replace it.
