I realise there are an awful lot of anti-development Haligonians, but this area gives us no reason to embrace our height-phobia. If people freak out then it will only feed into the conversation about how distant from the downtown this area is. What local residents could legitimately protest?
Let them. It'll be a joke.
I think a growing number of people in Halifax have simply had
enough. The downtown's height is already capped; the rest of the peninsula -- especially an area as residentially vacant as this one -- shouldn't have to suffer.
I foresee a growing momentum for height in this very 'safe' area.
Someone's mention of a northend skyline is something to consider, because a
new skyline would bring optimism and excitment. I'm glad to see that Young Tower is just the beginning for this area
