Toronto got mentioned in this little article on New York Yimby (one of New York's UrbanToronto equivalents). Is this the sort of impression our city has been leaving with architecture enthusiasts?

Quote:
Many of the newer towers in Downtown Brooklyn tend towards post-modernist designs, so the glass is neither overwhelming nor repetitive; despite the amount of new development, the aesthetics of the DoBro skyline are a far cry from the monotonous uniformity of Toronto or Vancouver.

Original article here.
 
It's really just one person's opinion, but can you blame him? From Lake Ontario, the most famous view of our city, many of our condos are indeed undifferentiated, bland glass masses. I don't think we're nearly as bad as Vancouver though.
