Viewfromthe42, with respect, statements that include opinions like "even if such development makes sense and fits with the expected density for a site of that magnitude" are subjective. I happen to agree strongly that the transit hub should set the benchmark for density (and height) in the Region, but if someone disagrees with me, I don't think that's illegitimate. We have design charettes for the purpose of getting different viewpoints from neighbours and stakeholders. Their purpose is not to reinforce preconceived notions.
As a Mount Hope resident, I hope to see height at the transit hub, and at Sixo, and everywhere else where it's logical. If some of my neighbours happen to think one site or another should not be granted extra height for some reason, I wish that person would not be labelled "anti-development" or (especially) "NIMBY." None of us is completely laissez-faire when it comes to development, and all of us want to see certain restrictions at least sometimes.
