Yeah, why not. You just reiterated the here/hear mixup--unless that's some Trump-supporter-esque "doubling down" tactic. (Though I'd be more willing to let the missing "to" in "the desire not replicate it" pass. But here vs hear is so blatantly *idiotic* a typo on any other than English-second-language grounds, it's hard to let it pass.)
Speaking of that kind of ESL-based cultural clash, it's worth noting how it's come to characterize a lot of Vancouver heritage discussion ever since the Asian-emigre-boom-led "monster home" onslaught of the 80s and 90s. Sort of like, the "hopelessness" you see in me as being the equivalent to the reflexive racism and obstinate cultural insensitivity Vancouver's affluent-class Asian-Canadians see in preservationists (and that "our" preservationist-sensibility fetishizing of fetid ancient hutongs is just so much Western yuppie-elite imported arrogance force-fed into a culture not its own). Though around UT, ksun's the likeliest to wield that hardcore pro-Asian/anti-West baton.
Nevertheless, this is Toronto. And the irony is, the "brief history lesson" you're offering does *not* devalue the original Park Plaza/Hyatt, heritage-wise--unless it's among the pro-development astroturf contingent within UT who'd *love* to have some Mirvish/Gehry-level scheme to emerge and enable their desired will to "let the Park Plaza go". Well, if that's the crowd you choose to hang in, it's a little like men's rights activists throwing darts at the "arrogant, unwavering position" of their "hopeless" feminist critics.
