I don't disapprove of more density along major corridors, but 25 stories is MUCH too high given this neighbourhood. Up to 10 stories would be more reasonable at this location given the church and Whole Foods/Shoppers nearby, but they really need to consider the neighbourhood and the fact that most of this area is single family homes.
In general, it really ticks me off that they're effectively destroying more affordable homes, creating more demand for single family homes while the owners of these companies are living in giant mansions in the likes of Lawrence Park or Rosedale or the Bridle Path--> if they want density, why don't they develop some of these EXTREMELY low density areas and build giant towers there? But of course, they want their neighbourhoods to remain nice and quiet and to preserve their character while destroying the remaining nice areas of the city where families can exist without being crowded into tiny sky boxes. This sort of thing would make more sense downtown (where there are still lots of low rise buildings), or even at Yonge and Eg (although they've made living in that area a living hell for residents), but the city really needs to reconsider its approach to density outside of these areas because it's not just about putting up more condos for investors- it's about making sure the city still has nice pockets where you don't feel like you're in a canyon (that becomes a wind tunnel in the winter) and aren't just surrounded by a concrete jungle. More moderate-rise buildings along big roads and more single family homes in areas where you could put like 10 houses in what's currently 1 giant lot makes more sense in terms of creating housing supply than just plopping down condos everywhere. Be smart about it- not just greedy.
