There have been some recent housing demolitions on those lots.

What? Are they going to take the only decent-looking houses on all of Wharncliffe Road and replace them with another St. Felix the Cat monstrosity?

At least the disgustingly ugly walk-up to the south of these cool houses will have some company now.

I honestly don't mind them. If you want to see truly hideous student housing you need only come to Waterloo: I can see 4 cranes outside my window right now and every single one is constructing a stucco student apartment monstrosity.

I don't mind the walkups either. Better than the giant bungalows in Oakridge.

You're missing the point entirely. The walkups may be better than a bunch of mass-produced low-density rubbish, but they're not better than the existing low-density housing currently on site. If construction was properly executed, and if they added shops or other streetfront features, I wouldn't mind so much. But they won't. They'll just be cheap, dreary, and inhuman rental units that destroy the streetscape. I may consider filing an objection against the development.
