I wouldn't actually support a ban; I was just venting.
Ah... totally understood. I actually had decent hopes for this one until I saw the quality of the glass. It had the potential for a little but of Dutch flair.

Did city planners have the authority to require a building with more appropriate massing and design here?
Standing on the red carpet I had to witness this garbage
Festival is a fine looking tower, simple, elegant. It's far, far better than this one or M5V which are both a jumble (although there was an attempt to elevate M5V above the average, it is let down particularly by how poorly in resolves on the skyline).
I don't understand how what was (I think everyone believed) going to be red brick on the Mercer became this unfortunate tinted precast. That's a bait and switch, pure and simple, for which the should be financial repercussions for the developer.
I don't mind this one either. It looks pretty good for a "value" condo and it's well-mannered in its context.
