Am I the only one who's concerned with the actual livability of this building?? St. James Town is already the most dense neighbourhood in downtown Toronto; traffic at the intersection of Bloor and Sherbourne is bad as is. With the addition of thousands of units from JCM, this project, and the...

That's what I thought! This may not be entirely relevant to this thread but I can't find similar topics anywhere else on the forum: I'm sad to see a lot of these tall buildings being built (or are proposed to be built) right next to other equally tall buildings, meaning the views of at...
