There's a similar thing happening amongst the homes off to the northeast of the corner - up along Burbank and the local streets that peel off it - the original suburban ranch modern homes are being replaced by flouncy-yucky retread-of-history McMansions.
One of my favourite areas is north on Burbank. Forest Grove Dr east of Restwell specifically. Had some time recently to drive around and I was shocked they let the monster homes in. This area should have had heritage protection. I need to make some big money fast so I can buy one before they are all gone.
