Seriously, this makes me laugh.

NOT because its in Toronto, but because we have the same exact project(s) here and there's always some wacko architect with some vision about the area not making any sense.

On some other board, there's an ongoing internet "war" between forumers and such an architect who post there with proposals for our waterfront... ridiculous.

Sorry for exporting our bug to you guys, we try to fight it at home too.

There is already one at the bottom of Rees/Spadina (in between the two)

I actually liked it last year, we went down there a couple of times...

This guy's designs are great.

Shame somebody gave the Ok for Dundas Square, coz it gets uglier every time I see it.

What's infuriating about this article/issue is not the fact that an architect has a 'vision' for the site, because FUKC do we ever need more vision in this city, but it's about the fact that because of BS politics at City Hall and the Boys Club making idiotic decisions based on who they 'like' best and not 'what's ' best for the city.
