I think fire is the first issue on everybody's mind, and it's why I still reserve some judgement. But when examples are brought up like the Kingston fire that trapped a crane operator, or even the fire at the Victoria Crossing, these examples seem to always be before the fire suppression and monitoring has been installed.
There's an upside, of course. Anything that makes midrises more economical makes it more likely we'll see more of them, and that they'll be cheaper. In a growing city like ours, that's a large potential benefit when it comes to infilling corridors like King Street with a good streetwall, instead of a few interspersed high-rises.
