Though I also find it unfortunate that there are two street-level banks in Aura I am not sure I want the City to be the people who select tenants. I certainly think that having a strong streetscape and interesting retail enhances a building but I bet banks are the kinds of stable tenants who pay their rent regularly that most developers or building owners prefer. There is no doubt that having a restaurant (especially one with a patio) at the base of a condo building can lead to complaints about noise, smell etc from residents living above. (Look at how the condo residents above the proposed Real Jerk at Queen and the Don River are trying to stop them getting an alcohol permit.)
