L on the other hand should actually improve the island view, though only slightly since its size and position won't make it stand out that much. But it's gonna look splendid driving along the Gardiner or coming down Yonge.
depends on the angle you look at the core from.

straight on, they would block out the core:




but if you moved down the island a bit further, they would add to the skyline rather than block it out;
